Look at your current exhaust manifolds and see if you have any A.I.R. tubes to them, also make sure the headers (if smog check is an issue) are certified for your State/region/etc...i/e, here in Ca., even if the headers were to have the necessay smog tubes on them, unless they were "CARB" certified, they would still be illegal to run.

You talking about wrapping the headers? Coolant temp wouldn't be affected, but it would help with underhood temps, just be aware, some manufacturers void the header warranty if wrapped.

Yah, so it dose work? Because my 460 heats up everything around my truck in about a 3ft radius, and I figure the coller the better.

Well, you're current exhaust manifolds will allow less heat transfer than headers will, the wrap does work, but don't expect it to be "cooler" than your current setup.
