Last summer I purchased and installed an OBX stainless steel header (4 into 2 into 2).



I have had it on and off the car 3 times for clutch replacement and new coolant hoses, and timing belt. Now that I have it off once again, should I wrap it? I am running a Racing Beat intake with K&N cone filter that is pretty close to the header and worry about heat sink to the aluminum intake. I'm not sure if wrapping it shortens the life of the metal, not that this header was terribly expensive; If I get three years out of it I'll be happy. Thanks.

P.S. not as shinny, so no big deal to cover it.
