Does larger TB require headers?
I am about to purchase a 82mm TB (+possible porting...) and was wondering if it made sense to do so without getting headers?
Since this is for my G and I cannot seem to find any header that fit my budget I was wondering if it might be overkill and just have my stock TB ported?

well unless you're the hulk you better be prepared to lift and take out the supercharger your self! It "IS" possible but it'll require some help!
but then again... i'm not mechanically inclined either... haha

Thanks so much for the input so far!
Yeah, that was precisely my concern. I will have to post some pictures later but the engine compartment is so tight, I seriously am wondering what the headers for the G that Renntech and Kleeman make even look like.
Maybe removing the cats, muffler and only having a Hi-Flo cat might offset the stick headers?

+1 They make heat reflective tape. Either in gold or silver IIRC. Peal it off ans stick it on. I've never tried in on a MB IC but it might be worth a try.
maybe google "gold heat reflective tape"

No, I did not wrap my IC when I did my TB swap and I'm greatly regret that decision. I'll wrap my IC this winter. Jeg's have some silver heat reflective material that you can peel off and tape to the IC. I've used those on my GMC Typhoon and it worked great.
