Default To wrap or not?

I just picked up a Jardine 2:1 Titanium full exhaust. I want to wrap the header but I am worried about it shorting the life of the Titanium, also possibly killing resale value if I ever decide to go back to 2:2. So should I wrap it or no? lol

It holds in moisture

Right after wrapping spray it down with something like VHT. That will "water prrof" the wrap.
