you can put header wrap on but it soaks up the moisture and any fluids and then burns back off and stinks.

header wrap on street cars is common. just do it right and you should be fine. If you miss a spot or overlap a spot will cause uneven heating and cooling of the pipe and will eventually crack it.

Weapon-R

Heat wrapping the header will get lower temps but it causes the metal to crystalize.

First to apply the wrap correctly, you need to soak the wrap in water, which is already bad for metal, then you add heat over and over again. This makes the metal retain the heat and crystalize the metal, which in time will cause it to become brittle and crack.

Titanium is a exotic metal, it's exotic for its lightweight properties, finally because it stronger than any metal out there. And added it looks cool when it dis-colorates into a rainbow or colors.

Bads about titanium: very bad for your health to weld. and very hard to weld.

will it change colors after its installed?

Weapon-R

heat will cause it to change colors.

are those tig welds? ti welds?

If not, I'd hate to see the rust over time.... almost defeats the purpose.

anyway, still pretty cool.

You cant use stainless welding rod for titanium. it just wont weld.

And were not half Assed like that.

mucho respect on the headers. so many damn welds, ti is a tough medium that has been stated previously. i work at a place that makes fuel lines for airplanes, and anything with ti will cost crazy amounts of money (thousands). i wanna see whats up with yalls stainless header though. custom is awesome. i will wait and see.

want to see some more serious ti work... read about it here...

Just through my 2 cents on the price. Going Titanium is less about high performance vs. cost, but rather having the ability to say "Oh, nice header. Oh mine? Titanium."

it saves 25 lbs, 1000 lbs from your cars weight will drop 1 second from your 1/4 time (so i've heard) so 100 lbs should take a .1 from it. If I can drop 200 lbs without cutting or removing any of the things that makes driving comfortable I'll do it.

I can second that because before my friend was sponsored he paid almost 1500 for his header for an 11 second n/a EG.

It was custom made/blue printed to maximize the performance oh his built motor and was made to exit the passenger side of his front bumper since it was strictly a track car. I personally wouldn't have paid that much but I was just saying that they do go for about that much.
