Don't bother with it. First of all you won't see enough gain to be worth the trouble...you MIGHT gain 1/4-1/2 HP if even that much. Plus it will cause your header to rust out FAST. I tried it on an old cobra pipe a few years ago and in just one season it was so rusted it was flaking and pitted. The header wrap traps too much moisture. If you still insist on giving it a try you can pick it up from summit racing or any auto performance shop for around $20 or so. There are plenty of better ways to spend your money on performance goodies though.
