Not worth the hassle, unless your car is completely mod, with turbo and you plan on serious competion. Pain in the *** to wrap, also not to good for daily driver because it will keep traping moisture.

I've heard stories about causing the headers to crack. Check out Honda-tech.com for some better input.

Bottom line - don't use it on your headers. FI applications maybe worth it - NA setup = no need.

Not really expensive that it's unaffordable, BUT, the few hundred is better spent elsewhere, where you will feel the diff.

I think a well made heat shield would do you better.
