Don't do it. I did it on my Rover and had to replace the LCB's after 18 months due to cracking (twice!). |

My bay is 2 pac'd, Ive had my LCB's wrapped from day one. No failures or leaks from the pipes so far after 10,000 miles. |

I would only wrap ceramic coated extractors otherwise they won't last very long. |
