Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

    Headerwrap helps keep heat in the exhaust system, thus helping the scavanging effect. It also helps lower under hood temperatures, which is a good thing if you have non-cold air intake.

      It CAN crack the tubing or welds of the header, though. Especially cheaper ones. By keeping the heat inside, it puts more strain on the metal.

        so do you think it would be a plus for me to get it or a negative?
        and to actually wrap the header would i have to remove it?

            some say it rust or breaks down the metal fast. i have them on my cheap ebay header and it work perfectly. when you 1st put them on, you notice the acceleration is a little smoother. instead of the exhaust gases hitting the header pipping and going out, it allows them to flow down the tubing and out the exhaust where its supposed to go.

              Heat is energy, so the more heat that is kept in the exhaust stream, the more energy (and velocity) it should retain.

                    Header wraps trap moisture from condensation on the metal of your headers, there by causing premature failure. If you want lower temperatures get them coated and put your heat shield back on.
