And that's about it! I've tried wrapping the headers with different materials and abandoned all of them. It keeps the heat in the pipes when cooling them would be much better. Wraps were originally used inside engine compartments to keep that space cooler. They were not designed for external use. Mine all degraded over time, became brittle and came off in pieces. Getting wet occasionally probably did not help, either.

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
