    good points there lads. because of the heat the headers will let off what you's think about heat wrapping them? before installing

    Heat wrapped headers last like 5 yrs. Plus if u do a bad job and leave a hot spot you'll shorten the lifespan further. Its only good for tracking to keep it from heating the oil from memory.
    3 guys walk into a bar. The first guy told the D to get a B series.The second guy told the B to get a K series. The last guy told the K to fk off just get a V8 mate.

    As above.

    Just do away with your heat shield, you don't need these things unless you plan to race. One thing I like D-series headers for is their aesthetic value

    DA9, eg, n360,
    just put some on my 84 SI 3rd gen with a zc didnt fit because its not a eg/ed/ef so i was expecting this made it fit was good very nice..

    little hint for people fitting these dont touch them with your bare hands u will leave ur oils on the stainless when it gets hot it will show ur fingerprints use gloves when fit them then use thinners or alcohol to clean them before starting the engine this will make them nice and shiny

    good tip Aaron - I use spraycan brake cleaner after installing header - then wipe with lint-free cloth.. then once u drive it - no fingermarks etc mmm..

    if you buy a used header that is allready covered in fingermarks and smudges, get some 800grit, 1200 grit wet n dry sandpaper and go nuts.. then give a couple of times over with some metal polishing compound - i use meguiars 'Metal Polysh'.

    You can just wipe them down with a cloth and dish washing detergent if you don't have any brake cleaner etc
