I think that could be a mistake. Your basically insulating the tube which will help it retain heat. Aluminum is one of the best metals for dissipating heat ,wrapping it is similar to putting your beer in a coozie.

For example and for your own practical tests take two empty beer cans fill one with Hot water and put in a coozie take the other and fill with hot water and leave on the counter take temps of both cans after 15 min. You will see the difference


Header Wrap is used to keep the heat from the headers from escaping and affecting components close by.


These are just my opinions and your mileage may vary
