Header Wrap, How To and Why with DEI and Lucore Automotive

If you followed along with our Hot Rod Power Tour 2022 experience you know we had connected with DEI to mitigate some of the heat challenges in both the 1970 Pontiac LeMans and the 1979 AMC AMX. Well after enjoying a much cooler drive across the American deep south during a 100+ degree heat wave we figured this would be a great time to reconnect and discuss their DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap, and how to properly wrap a header.

Fortunately for us we happened to have a set of headers to be used for this demonstration! The AMX is about to make the switch from factory manifolds to Hedman Hedders so perfect timing to show off the proper way to get this done! We reconnected with Mike of DEI and he had us come up to their corporate headquarters in Avon Ohio to film the process.

We aren't usually the How To type folks and we don't do a ton of header wrapping, but we couldn't pass up this opportunity to make a step by step in depth video. On top of all that we got a quick tour "behind the scenes" at their production facility to see just how some of their products are created, essentially all of which is Made in the USA... on equipment almost all Made in the USA! That's the kind of thing we certainly love to see.

Huge thanks to everyone at DEI for their support and willingness to shoot this video with us, and to Mike for the free labor! Most folks doing this are coming at it without any experience so being able to share this kind of thing we feel is a pretty valuable video. We hope you all enjoy it and learn something from it as well!
