Nothing major, just putting header wrap on the manifold, downpipe, and charge piping. Pics:

put a heat wrap on the alternator cables.
if its close to dump pipe/front pipe to prevent melting the cables.

I'm not sure a heat wrap on the dump pipe and front pipe made any difference on my car.
Other than it looks pretty on the engine bay.

It's not the wires that are in danger, it's the alternator itself. I've had 4 alternators go out and the wires are still ok. Thank God for lifetime warranty at Autozone. Switch em out no questions asked.
