If you mean the section of the EGI (engine) Harness that runs across the top front of the valve cover, they get brittle from heat rising off the cat. There's no good way to protect the loom and outside tape in the long run, the adhesives on aluminum tape degrade and will let go when used on the outside. So the idea is to protect the wires. I wrap the wire bundle with an aluminum tape like 3M 2113NA, then re-cover it with regular loom and fresh black tape.
