hmmm...the problem with the heat is the rotary engine produces A LOT of it.
I have a RB header for my '83 GSL (12a) and it's just polished. I would say invest in a heat shield and/or electric fan. RB rep for the headers are awesome. I haven't heard anything going wrong with them.

I just reciently purchased the RB street port exhaust system heaber all the way back to the muffler. I just wrapped my header with header wrap. Not the most attractive thing but if your worried about exess heat under hood, I personally think you cant really get anny better for the price.

RB does make bullet proof header!!! The only thing with the exhaust wrap on a street car is the thing will rust from the inside out eventually....all of the heat is contained in the header and eventually breaks it down, this is what I experienced on my race car. This process took like 8 years though!!! I know RB does not ceramic coat them but you can get them done after the fact. I went to a stainless steel header, no rust, 7lbs.!!!! half the weight of steel, but you still get the heat.

definately ceramic coating before install. i know what header wrap does, my dad has a 87 rx7 with a chevy 4.3 swap, and he used header wrap to keep the heat down... it works, but i saw what i didnt to the headers.. so.. im not wasting my time with that, and i dont think anyone else should either..
