Constant myth perpetuation over decades is hard to erase.

another note regarding the apexi header is that it comes as a set with the OP and FP and since the FP has a fairly large resonator on it, it makes for a much quieter setup even compared to stock when pairing with various aftermarket catbacks @mav1178 posted an in depth review here https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103338
I personally run this kit + fujitsubo catback and it's quiet enough that I don't get harassed by cops

Shouldnt it be the other way around? Insulation on the header (wrap, coating or other) and let the pan the way it is? Pretty sure that covering the pan in insulation material just prevents the oil from shedding some heat there.

Yes ideally you want to ceramic coat the header. Keeps heat away from things like the oil pan and coil packs, but the hotter your manifold the higher the exhaust gas velocity from what I can remember.

I've always run it on both. Reflective insulation on the pan prevents head from soaking into it..

IMHO ceramic coating is a relative waste of money compared to wrap. Plastics were still melting near the headers after I had mine coated… but you can almost touch the headers after being wrapped. (But wrapping is a pain in the butt, and needs upkeep) |

Isn't wrap risky if it gets soaked in oil?
