    I have previously wrapped all of my headers on other vehicles. i can understand not wrapping them on an all season car due to salt/moisture but i'd like to keep engine bay temps down as much as possible. Any safe way to do this?

    Pull the hood seal (rubber deal) get your fans tuned to come on around the thermostat etc. Our engines are stuffed in a box. Heatsoak is inevitable, so it's not typically worth killing the headers with wrap.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
