Default To wrap or not to wrap

I recently bought a set of headers/manifold for my Blobeye they came heatwraped but some of it is coming off. So the question I have is do I buy more and re-wrap them or not bother and just leave them with no wrap on?

Have you investigated ceramic coating?

All the wraps start deteriorating after install.

I heat wrapped the **** outta my down pipe and headers, if you use fiberglass wrap be prepared to get itchy. If you use titainim wrap then be prepared to ruin whatever you wearing as no matter how many times I washed my tee shirt it still was itchy.
