The reason I got them Hot Jet Coated was when I went to the exhaust shop the owner just about booted me in the ass for wrapping them, and said so.
Then he showed me the error of my ways.
A set of headers that had been wrapped and were rotted through because they got brittle from the heat and whatever moisture gets trapped (condensation) even with stainless headers (such as the B&B).
I opted for the high temp coating as I run an S/C.
That shrink tubing looks like its the kind that doesn't have the sealant inside that makes it water tight. What kind did you use? btw what's an x-pipe? exhaust?
I think I have a bad ground. My voltage has been really swinging lately. A week ago I had 14.2 at idle, then I had 13.1. While driving it's usually 13.5. I just dealt with a bad battery and replaced it with a fresh one. I didn't pay much mind to it until another member mentioned their problems. I wanted to check the health on my fuel pump wiring and they were hot to the touch - this is all recent.
So I just emptied a shopping cart full of items on this thread. So what voltage do you get at cold idle, hot idle, and cruising?
I'm surprised you didn't cut/solder extension wires on the existing O2 sensors. I did that on mine and used used Raychem heatshrink on the splices and wrapped it with high temp flex loom.
Not familiar with your battery and can't clearly see how your wires are connected in the pics. When you say there was enough thread on the terminal, where are you connecting it? I say this because they make battery terminals that accommodate additional ring terminals such as the one from Racetronix - GMBT-B

After a long conversation with MECHMAN, the smaller pulley really helps in traffic.
I found a Gatorback that was smaller with no problem, so the belt wasn't an issue, but also wasn't cheap.
I think the pulley is about 3/8" - 1/2" smaller OD.
