    I did for a while. The collector closes to the alternator cooked the back of it. My headers are now wrapped though. No issues since.

    Ceramaic-coated headers will be your best bet to keep things cooler under your hood. They are the way to go.

    I always do on headers. In the old days the starter was the one that got to hot from heat.
