Thank you for the  replies.
 
I failed to mention that I  purchased (some time ago) the CAT headers.
 
I intend to wrap them with exhaust  wrap to reduce under hood heat levels.  
I had the CAT headers "Metallized"  (sprayed with a coating of molten 
aluminum, while heated)  I have had  metallized exhaust before and it holds up 
very well, so it should eliminate a  rust problem.
 
I have my engine in my shop  and the car in a hangar, stored for winter.  I 
couldn't visualize the  frame location at all. Thanks to Tom (atwittsend) I 
see the filter is well below  the frame rail
 
I will bring my headers over to the  shop and get a better picture of what 
I am dealing with.
 
1) What do you guys think of the  header heat wrap idea?
 
2) If I have to go with the remote  cooler, would it be feasible to move 
the filter to the wheel well??  I will  need new hoses anyway.
