I have a 383 with ceramic coated headers. I have extra insulation under the carpet and the cabin temp is excessive. Do header wraps significantly help?

As anonymous stated yes it will help. I wrap the primaries only and stop where they all come together at the collector. If you wrap the complete header it may suffer in life span. Use a good wrap like the titanium from DEI and follow their overlap and securing information.

Of course header wrapping is not to keep the car cool but rather to keep the heat in the exhaust. But when you consider what wrapping does it isn?t much of a leap to realize that it would automatically keep the car cooler due to less radiated heat. But because exhaust heat is only a portion of what makes some Corvette cabins similar to being in a microwave oven it may not be enough. I have had Vettes that were so bad I had to insulate the firewall as well.
