Ok so i'm going to wrap my headers this weekend and i thought that i would ask a couple of you guys some questions. I noticed that the rear header pipe is tucked up under the frame and there isnt much room to get the wrap up in there. I would like it if you couldnt see my clamps and i dont want to take the header off. From what i see you have to take the frame out. Correct? So, any info would help me. thanks guys

Take the frame out? : ?

If you work with the wrap, you should be able to figure a way to get it installed without removing the headers. Take your time. A hose clamp or safety wire will work to hold the wrap in place at the header and then again at the collector. I'd recommend using a hose clamp at the collector end.

Good luck, let us see how it turns out.

You can slide the hose clamp (or safety wire)up far enough on the rear header where you can't see it. Like Blake said, just take your time and it will look fine.
