    Heat Shield?

    Ok I Just Read This Article At Toyoland About Wrapping Your Headers And Muffler With Heat Wrap.

    Is It True That You Can Get Better Performance With A Hotter Header Using A Heatwrap? Is It Possible That You Can Get Fuel Economy Also?

    It might crack depending on what kind of metal is being wrapped.

    We're talking about manifold heat shields and wrapping. They sell intake heat shields on ebay. Just do a search.

    5 years is about right. Maybe even earlier than that too.
