no, the place i ordered the header wrap from said it would be here last week, but i went friday after work and they told me another week. I politely told them to get fucked and bought it somewhere else.

If it comes in today like ATU said it would, i might try to get it done after work some day this week. I want it done in time for the car show at kapun.

What kind of DP's are you installing? I know AR recommends against wrapping their Dp's.....

OT but hopefully helpful: I wrapped the DP and headers on my WRX. The DP lasted almost 2 years before a weld failed and it had to be repaired. The headers lasted about a year and they failed in such a way that they couldn't be repaired. From now on I'll ceramic coat exhaust parts but I won't wrap them on a daily driver, which is a shame because I'm really good at exhaust wrapping.

+1. I would ceramic coat exhaust parts too. No wrap job.

Other than the time factor... why not send it to these guys in the states? They do a lot of the top race teams in the US.
