My car is a daily driver and is driven sometimes as 100's of miles as time during all seasons.
I know of some people that have gone uncoated and later either wished or went ahead an had them coated. I know of no one that went with coated and later had them stripped. j/k
fwiw I talked to the same companies.

just about all header companies say header wrap will void their warranty.

these quotes say what i feel and think. i think some people would be surprised how quickly i can touch my headers after use.
my dad figured out the wraps were shit and counter productive decades ago. i cringe when i see wraps.
