Victor...
Sorry but STOP!
I do not have any direct experience with header wrap but, from all that I read and what logic tells me... Header wrap also traps water - Even more so than ceramic coating. Is there any way that you can just put a shield between the header and any flammable items?

Hello Victor.
I wrapped the exhausts on my 912UL about 150 hours ago (18 months) and so far it has worked very well. I used the automotive type. It`s about 2" wide and wraps on easily. I used SS tye wraps at the ends.
I was still having too much heat around the carb bowls though. If I landed and shut down on a hot day, I would have to wait until the heat dissapated before restarting. Today I installed two flexible heat shields between the engine and the carb bowls. I bought a "Versa-Shield" 7"x24" at our local auto parts store ($40.00). I cut this in half, attached them to hoses and fuel lines near the engine and wrapped up to the top of the carbs. Doesn`t look great but does the job. It is for insulating starters,etc on race cars.
Seems to work very well. Hot starts today were great.
Have fun.
