Header wrap can destroy headers. I have seen, on my buddy's low 11 second montecarlo, the headers "blow out" on the outside of the first turn of the primary pipe. Meaning, now there's a 1" hole in the primary pipe where no such hole was before. They weren't the best headers in the world though, thin flanges and poor chassis fit. He won't wrap his new ones though.
