Header Wrap Question

86 N/A.

My current setup is RB Header, RB Presilencer w/ pickup tube, Stock ypipe, stock mufflers. The header and presilencer are wrapped (I believe once). Would it be beneficial/suggested to wrap them (or at least the header) twice?

the burning on mine with grease and grime between the thermal reactor and the heatshield, as well as soaked into a piece of heatwrap on one of the pipes in that system. When I took the heatshield off (and the grime) the smoking stopped.

**The heatwrap still smolders, but not enough for me to care.
