alright I put my new hindle exhaust on and the header hits my chin spoiler. do you think heat wrap would keep from melting the fiberglass? should i go ahead and wrap them anyway?

Junior - can you carve out room for the header with a dremel or something like that?  I think the exhaust wrap should work, too.  My buddy did that with the race plastics on his SV.  It still discolored from heat over time but didn't 'burn'.

Be careful of wrapping stainless headers, they will crack. If you are just wrapping at the point that is close to the plastic, I would think that should be OK :motorsmile:
