: I've always wrapped headers with that thermal wrap , supposed to reduce engine heat. real simple stuff and cheap. Don't know if the jet-hot would do much better, but i'm sure it would cost more :)

: sam

The thermal wrap does reduce the engine compartment temp. The jet-hot coating works by reducing the amount of heat being absorbed by metal. This a) reduces engine compartment temps, b) increases exhaust temp (better use of the cats…up to a point), and c) increases the life expectancy of your manifolds considerably.
