header wrap? pro's / con's

So I'm starting to get the impression your not super fond of header-wrap ? LOL
These cheap Summit Heather's I bought for $125 new about 4 years ago or so. Again I think I mentioned that I never paid them and they seem to be on their way out anyways. Again this is more for the under hood heat which isn't bothering me because I've never had a hood on before. A lot of it for its aesthetic look. I've already bought the tape as pictured in post 28th so there ain't no turning back and the silicone should be here today according to Amazon.

I don`t know how long the guy from Witchitaw had wrap on the headers I bought from him, but their was no cracking or rusting on them. He blew up his engine after spraying it to get it in the 9`s. I rewrapped them after fixing a couple of hammered tubes, still no problem, other than the dam stuff is starting to deteriorate and gets fiberglass in my arms while working on the engine w/ short sleeves. If ur going to wrap ur headers, buy the best stuff u can find. Jegs has some that is supposed to take 2000 degrees constantly. DID I SAY I HATE THE DAM STUFF ?
