Exactly!!!! I put header wrap on my Jackson Racing header back in 1993 and it destroyed my header within 6 months!!! It must have retained water or something (although you would think it would burn off) and the header rotted out!!! I'll never do it again unless I know for certain the header is a quality SS.
