Default Wrapping headers?

If I install a header(Megan) should I wrap it, or just leave it the way it is. Is there any benefit.

Wrapping it would be better. It will keep the engine bay temperatures down, and personally i think its look badass. I would definately wrap the header if i were to get one.

interested as well. ive heard it weakens welds. and ive also heard it screws up the flow of the exhaust somehow but both of which i have no real knowledge on.

i personally dont care how it looks.

It does not weaken the welds, no way it could do that. And it will improve the exhaust flow and actually can increase HP in some cars.

It WILL cause premature rust as they get wet and stay wet and rust the pipes, don't ask me how something can get that hot and stay wet but trust me it does and it does rust prematurely.

Not sure it would increase the HP on the S2000 since it is already tuned so optimally.
