Back when I had my LS2 GTO there were many threads regarding welds breaking on headers that had been wrapped. Unless the metal is extremely high quality along with the welds it has been shown that wrapping MAY cause premature failure of the headers, joints, welds, etc.

Ceramic coating is also by far FAR SUPERIOR to wrapping headers. However they have to be coated inside and out to keep the temperature within the primaries. If you do get them coated be sure to use a well respected place-excellent quality product and application should not discolor as described above. I have seen Kooks headers with thousands of miles on them on heavily modded LS2's with ceramic coating and they look just as good as the day they were coated.

Just my two cents for you to consider.

I too will be adding headers eventually to the rig. Not to jump on the mod train as mentioned but aftermarket headers with smooth primaries obvously flow better than cast iron factory manifolds.
