Header wrap...yes, or no?

^ Apex Power intake is just a filter, and iirc they're actually one of the best ones you can buy for the money. (They actually filter debris, and flow nicely, too)

That filter combined with the rb tube should be nice!

Still debating on doing the header-wrap

I think it's worth doing. Hardest part is probably taking off the header lol

the life of the headers will shorten since the head is packed inside the header wrap... great performance wise but it does shortens its life

Am I the only one who prefers to see headers un-wrapped?

Raises hand! I like seeing unwrapped headers.

unwrapped headers = awesome

Heat soak = eats monkey cock

yeah i was thinking about trying to get a hold of one of the RB elbow adapters, but was still considering if i wanted to get a front strut bar or not. i really want one though because it would point the built-in velocity stack forwards.

On both my Miatas, it was easier than I thought (for New England cars). When I reinstalled the headers, I made sure to use copper anti-seize, so now the bolts come off no problem

I liked them unwrapped too...well for the first year. Then the shine, got less shiny, and the heat, got more heaty. Having done this, under hood temps still seem cooler, and the RB elbow doesn't get hot. I would do this again.

Another vote for the header blanket. I bought the TDR one and I love it. The original version I had for a few years before I bought the newer, larger version that covers the secondaries as well. I have been kicking around the idea of wrapping my OBX ceramic coated 4-2-2 header and using the Header blanket as well.

I guess I am in the unwrapped header boat. I kinda like the non-mummified look.
