Neither seems to be particularly rugged, but should hold up long enough for my tests.

If you are looking for a recommendation, I don't know enough about either product, other than a perception of feeling "cheap" to the touch, to have an opinion. I'll post my findings as I go along.
Probably going to wrap my G3's with a material called refrasil. It's a ceramic fiber based cloth used in heat treat applications. Just hoping I have a enough scraps from work to fully wrap the intakes.
