  On our dyno day, the headers had the common silver coating. Shiny, but not
chrome.

Even if the temp sensor was misreading the shiny surface, the coated headers
were still noticeably cooler than the non-coated headers.

I tried to get J.T. to test the temp with his tongue, but he declined. He
must have remembered that day back in grade school at the flag pole. I even
double dog dared him.

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....
