Purdy, how much footage did you use?

Nicely done! Post up some installed pictures when you get the chance

arent those headers mild steel?

arent those headers mild steel?

Yes, and they will turn to rust pretty quickly with that wrap on them.

^...0.0'...that sucks

Yea, it's a nice wrap job too. But I learned this the hard way back in my big block Chevy days in the 80's... You wrap mild steel, and it turns to dust in no time.

Get the OBX header. The whole thing is stainless, including the flange, which is just as thick as the stock manifold flange. They won't rust, but they do turn a nice blueish purple color, fading to gold further down. I only wrapped the front three tubes on mine to keep the heat off of the distributor.

I never was much for pacesetter's products. Everything I ever bought from them was mild steel on my previous cars. I don't think they believe in SS or something. When I got my supra it came with a pacesetter exhaust (unistalled) it would have been a restriction anyways since it's only 2.5" and I'm turbo, I've still got it laying around somewheres...

You'll either want to have it ceramic coated, or buy something SS...

just coat it.. dont have to worry about rust then.. or the wrap

Aren't the obx's the one everyone is always complaining about having to modify to get them to fit right???

I'm pretty sure both Pacesetter and OBX need modifications to fit right.

[supramacist]

Yes you can chris. Just scroll back to the beginning of the thread.

Yes you can chris. Just scroll back to the beginning of the thread.

No he means the exhaust mentioned earlier, NOT the header.

 

[supramacist]

Duh....., my bad.

Nice wrap job but I'm with the guys on this Jens should have coated it first.

 

[Jens Lyn]

Hey all!
If it is right what you all say...then i build my own header in a special type stainless steel!
But since there is no water or other wet things that hits tha manifold i dont think it will become a problem with rust and so on!
The time will show us all whom was rigt and whom wrong

I am just learning by doing
have a nice day

I coated my Cooleeze DP w/1500* ceramic paint, wrapped it up real good, then used a 1500* made for header wrap. The small spot around the o2 sensor that didn't get wrapped has had the paint bubble off, but the coating on the header wrap is sill on. I'm planning on having it ceramic coated, along with the exhaust manifold and turbo once it's rebuild time .

I'd coat it if I were u.
