Header wrap - rescue or ditch?
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2014 7:54 pm
To cut a long story short the infamous ground clearance issues with long tubes have bitten me in the bum - bottomed out the drivers side header after a pot hole filled up with mud gave way under my wheels. It's ripped the wrap along the collector tube and so it's only a matter of time before it all loosens up and slips off.
I'm not removing the header to replace the wrap. Would you try and repair the damage by cutting back until the damaged section is removed and then covering over with a new piece and trying to secure it on the car or would it be best to just ditch the whole lot ?
To me a repair is the best bet but I also think it's unlikely to hold it all together.
