Default Look'e what DHL Left me

Well I just got back from Plano, Texas after being there a week for a training class.
It's nice to come home to Z parts.

DHL sucks...they delivered my phone to the wrong address which was clearly stamped on the box. Now it's going to take another week for cingular to send out a new phone.

I have thought about that after reading these forums here. Some folks claim added heat under the hood, but know one ever said just how much over stock.

They will add heat for sure. To me the heat wrap will keep it down and adds more security to other surrounding parts and lines.

I'd heat wrap it, if I were going to do headers...

keep the exhaust hot, not the engine bay.

Yes, your right. Sad to say. I went through the same thing. Sounded nice with TP and exhaust. Being told that the headers I had would allow for an TN kit to fit. But didn't. Alot of headache on my side.

What's the point of getting polished headers if you're just going to heat wrap them? Couldn't you just get ceramic and save a couple hundred? Also, is jet hot coating them as effective as wrapping them? Man, I have a lot of questions today.
