Other than making it faster. Just like adding stickers and a fart can.

all it really does it retain the heat of the "pipe" that its around, so hypothetically, if you wrapped your header on the race car, you might get less heat directed at the radiator & oil pan/bottom end, but i wouldnt expect any obvious gains or benefits.

Again, as I said, there is also the scavenging benefit.  Exhaust gases stay hot in the header/downpipe, then begin to cool once they hit the (non heat wrapped/insulated) exhaust.  The cooler gases are less dense, and this contraction, shrinking really, pulls the hot gases out of the header, thus increasing overall flow capacity and velocity.  It's not huge, but it's a real benefit.  We might be talking hundreths of a second on an ET, but for a race car it's worth it.  Street car, no way.

Looking business-like, there. Good going, everyone! Get much dust in through that wide-open rear?

Added some headlight covers and some mesh to help keep the mud off the front end.

Better be careful, they'll fail your tech next time with all those speed adding bits you're putting on there. Come on, can't have aerodynamic headlight covers like that, so unfair for the rest of the drivers!
