Don't do it
Thermal wrap retains to much heat and has a tendency to burn the header from the inside out
Most manufacturers void the warranty if a wrap has been applied
My suggestion is http://www.jet-hot.com/

Follow Popeye's advice.
A thermal wrapped header will maintain a lower underhood temp. than one that is not wrapped, but be prepared for your manifold to crack.
Jet-Hot has an excellent track record, and is a much better alternative. Swain Tech is also pretty popular. However, I don't know anything about Buddy Club headers, but be warned that bad header material will crack prematurely, especially with thermal coating.
