Which company makes the best under-hood wireloom covers? I have 2 different brands on mine, and dont know which was which. I do know that one brand faded like hell in less than a year.

if you are going for performance, dont worry about the loom, underhood temps deteriorate it fairly quickly, thats why i pulled 90% of mine and started painting, after i put the headers on alot of mine started to melt and its a mess to clean up, it breaks apart in tiny pieces. especially running the excessive heat of a turbo.

have you looked into Mylar?

Mylar is very resistant to heat.

Ive had mine in for years with headers and they arent melting or fading. I dont remember what brand they are but i got them at pepboys.
