im getting some rb headers, they have some surface rust, so im going to have my friend sand blast them, then i was thinking of wraping them with the fiberglass header wrap. something like this . is it going to start rusting again if i just wrap them? and will that wrap work, or are rotarys to hot? also how much of it do i need?
thanks

Header Wrap + Moisture + Salt + High Temps= Chloride Stress Cracking
Salt? Hes in Colorado Banz.

They dont use road salt in CO? New to me.
Get the header bead blasted, and do a very thin coat of high temp paint, just enough to cover it. It will be fine, I did the same with the one on my car.
A) I was thinking salt in air, such as coastal areas
B)Go to hell
