yes, it works, but your headders will rust FAST.   :o  i'd just leave them alone, or paint them with some headder paint. :icon_smile_big:

And if you are mainly doing it for appearances, know that header tape doesn't stay all white and pretty for very long either.  Especially under the hood of a street car, it gets dirty and grungy fairly quick.

well i want to get black tape because my car is black. and my headers were already a little rusty, and a few weeks ago i took my hood off and holy lord that rust grew fast with no hood to block the dew i guess? i live about 4 miles from the beach so rust is something i just have to deal with. one concern i have is will the tape fall off since theres already so much rust beneath it?

would 50 feet of 1'' tape be enough to wrap both headers?
