header wrap would work. just be weary that it soaks up liquids and will stink if it burns off lol

Quick question and i know its off topic matt but did you get the s-pipe upgrade?
yes I did. i personally got the creative compacts stainless (should be here any day ) because i got a great deal on it. i will have a review thread once it's installed (this week i hope).
oh....I thought you had the ZPI turbo. Besides the great deal, how come you didnt just stick with them?

I think because of the great deal and probably because they are basically the same. Id say they both generate the same amount of heat regardless of what tiny little differences they have. In my current situation I would opt for the CC one but if I was a high rolla Id go for the ZPI just for shiz and giggles lol.

i'm not sure what you mean by stick with them... i knew at the time there were fitment issues with the ZPI s-pipe and the alphawerks and I could get a great deal on the CC pipe. pretty easy choice
