I reckon a good set of headers would need to be around 3mm thick to have any real heat retaining properties.

i like to look of the custom Lancer "steam-pipe" sets you see around..

Nice, very nice. Had the honour of 'testing' the GX this arvo.........alot of work carried, but an extremely compliant setup, zero lag and lots of steam.....even better with dccd on rear bias!!!!
