I wrap my header before any DP takes places.
Seriously wouldn't header wrap hold the heat? I think the advantage of a downpipe w/ precats is it's ability to move heat away from the turbo quicker...

Header wrap on a header keeps heat in on purpose.
However on a downpipe, it would not transfer more heat externally... if anything it would not be as smoldering on the outside, and would keep more heat in the pipe.
However, header wrap is extremely harsh on all piping that it covers. I have personally blown holes in headers with header wrap.

what? u wrap the pipes to keep the heat inside the pipe
hotter gasses move faster, it's not like heatsoak. Also a larger diameter pipe not only increases flow but allows the hot gases to expand more and move more, well flow better same ****

I agree with you, it was as if they chose not to bend the pipe...
And I still don't understand their flex connector. I get the mesh flex connector style (like stock), but I need pics to figure theirs out.
One benefit is they do say they are 3" pipes (it seems most other DPs are 2.25").
