Jet Hot only costed me $10 per foot.  I didn't think that was to expensive.

Nah that would be to expensive, I will wrap it. The car is driven less than 2500 mile annually. 
 
But sound advice

I have heard that the use of the header wrap breaks the pipe down much faster 
than normal wear. This is commonly confused with rust, but the end result is 
the same. This may or may not be an issue for you. However, if I were you, 
and the pipe in question is pricey (which is prolly is), I would send it off 
to a powder coater to get covered with the silver ceramic. That will decrease 
the heat the sucker puts of, makes it look nicer, AND will increase the life 
of it...

Just a thought...
