Both are effective at reducing under-hood temperatures.   Wrapping headers is 
highly effective at destroying headers in short order.   Racers do it, and 
then throw their headers away once or twice a season.

Colin Bradshaw in the UK wrapped his headers on his GT5-S.   After some 
period of time (which I don't know), he went to unwrap them and simply crushed the 
headers with his bare hands.   That generated an emergency call to the USA for 
replacement headers--coated!

There's only one way to go on a street car with expensive headers....
