Hey RPM427, this is joes friend that he said he would e-mail about your problem. I had exactly the same problem and i think i went through about 6 or 7 cables before figuring out what to do. i marked the area where the header was touching the cable and put a real thick layer of high temp rtv sealer. with the sealer still wet started wrapping it with that header wrap(2" wide). I wrapped it tight and worked the sealer into it by squeezing and adding more sealer between layers. i did about a 10" section right at the contact area and built it up to at least a 1/4 in. or more all around. It's pretty messy to do but i haven't replaced the cable for over 2 yrs.
I actually had the wrap around the header itself but that rotted off inabout a year, so it should be fine without it.
I couldn't tell you what kind of headers they are either but they're definately getting replaced.
Good luck!
