If they're GT Spec headers, which they look to be from the 3 bolt up-pipe flange, mine have been on about 2 years now with no problems. Previous Gruppe-S split at the up-pipe flexi and collector as did another expensive, 'best on the market' 'top range' header.

just picked up my car last night after my recent run of mods including the GT II spec headers if your getting them wrapped be prepared for them to smoke like mad for a while, my run home was interesting to say the least i thought my car was on fire at one point lol

Likewise when i had my decat uppipe fitted and wrapped, it smoked like hell. However, if you can get it hot enough it should dry fairly quickly.
