to be honest, I'd say they look better now than they did with the original color.

Ok Lewfx it has been a while how is the paint doing? I saw your pic and thought that that looked a lot better than the cheap chrome on mine. Also what would the "better stuff" be?

got it today, took 40 minutes or so to put on. start at the top of one side, go down then cross onto another side and keep going down. in the end i had to wrap 2 together. pic will be on later....

well i drove around the block and it started to smoke, so i had to pull over and take it off, does header wrap normally smoke up a storm then die off?

i'd have let it smoke off in the driveway, and no i dont know if smoke is normal.

whenever i do anything to my exhaust i start it up with the hood open and let any smoke thats gonna happen just happen there while im watching it.

ya after driving it longer, it started to smoke up a little more, now it still smells...once you hit 60+ the speed stays close to 60 and slowly drops not like before

i need to keep the heat out of my engine bay before i ruin the paint on my hood! wrapping down the runners to the downpipe seems like a good way to do that.


lew, im still not clear...it feels faster wrapped? what did you mean by the 60mph stuff? how did wrapping change the sound?
