WARNING!
Most header wraps specify DO NOT USE on cast iron manifolds.
Also, from personal experience, do not use it on headers in a vehicle that is
used frequently. I put it on my one-owner '72 240Z which is still my daily
driver. Within a year it had "fried" every weld in the headers and I sounded
like a traveling commercial for Midas. It cost me new headers and the time and
trouble to replace same. I posted that info on the Z List and received several
responses from people who had had a simular experience.
There is a "built to the hilt" bug eye in my local club that has had no
problems. However, it is driven very infrequently but at least once a year at
Willow Springs, CA.
