thermal tape will lower the temperature of your engine bay which is a good thing. It will also increase the temperature of your exhaust gases therefore making them travel faster which is also a good thing. Wheter or not it's worth the $50 - I don't know. Probably not.

The owner's installation manuel that came from DC Sports specifically says NOT to put tape on like that. I remember reading when I put my DC Sports header on. I heard someone say the reason is because it would trap excess heat that could lead to metal fatique and or failure.

I don't think it's worth it unless you are roadracing or something, certainly not for a daily driver.
