Anyways - Congrats on the install and getting the car going! I know its not an easy task!!
Yes, you guys are both correct, i'm not sure what i was thinking NOT wrapping the full manifold, i gues after 3 hours of sitting in a chair trying to do just that so it wouldnt look like shit was long enough, then i looked at the center area, and thought i have no idea how im going to wrap that and it not look like shit, BUT its right where the plastic valve cover meets the alum head, so yes before i get that thing red i will NEED to wrap it, ANYONE that has not yet installed kit, NOTE this, and wrap full manifold no matter what.
