Just coated and wrapped my header. I have to say, I was pretty dissappointed with the quality if the wrap. I used the DEI titanium wrap along with their silicon paint, and wire wrap.
The fiber was good looking, but skewed very easily, and frayed on the cut ends very easily. Doesn't look terrible, but it's good enough. I can't say I'd recommend the wrap and their metal tie wraps, but I had a bad experience with the stuff. Someone a bit more knowledgeable may have a better finished product.
Oh and I did manage to get my stock heatshield forced back into place too.

The LSJ utilizes the corral in the middle of the valve cover for all the spark plug wires and other wires. The LE5 just hangs over the top of the header.

Same thing my uncle said! I thought he was full of it so I was ignorant and didn't. Overall I'm...ok with the outcome, but it could be better. Someone told me the header will eventually warp anyway, so I'll just have it done correctly with the new one I buy.
TJ, when will you be down south here? I'm going to shop around for the LSJ tensioner, idler and alt bracket, so I'll be ready to pulley down. I've got some parts I want to sell to help fund injectors and a new heat exchanger, just need to get off my ass and do it lol.
