You know there is a company called JETHOT that will ceramic coat your headers (inside and out) and I was doing some reaesarch and it said heat wrapping can crack your headers. I called JETHOT and they said to ceramic coat the cattman headers would be $225....they various colors as well..I would go wit the polished color and the coatings have a 3 year no questions asked warranty on them as well. Coatins good for 1300 degrees! Looks good to me. Here is their website:

so how much did these headers cost?

 

i got um for 260ish w/o gaskets

 

The reason people say wrapping can crack the headers is because of the moisture. However they sell special spray that you coat your wrap with to prevent the moisture.
