Damn! I just bought them from my local shop without the coating for 1700 installed and out the door. I feel stupid now.

haha - Same here. For my birthday my wife wrote me a blank check that said "one frivolous car part of your choice". I think I found it.

So, being the type of person who really wants to understand how everything works I was thinking about the coating last night on my drive home.

Since the ceramic coating reduces heat radiation from the headers themselves, where the does excess heat go? If heat isn't radiating from the pipes, then obviously it's contained within the pipes until it's forced out... through the mufflers.

Does your exhaust temp rise significantly with the addition of the coated headers? It would seem to me thats the only logical place for the heat to go.



Oh, and Bonestang... your wife is cool. :-)

You are correct sir. On both comments

Thanks for the code, saved $140. I just ordered them this morning with the catted h-pipe and sterling silver coating.

Will you try the install yourself or take it to a shop?

S197steve

Will be doing it with 2 of my buddies... they are much more experienced than I am. All I have to do is provide beer and food. :-)

Myself, maybe with a buddy. It's so much more fullfilling to do it yourself vs. taking it to a shop. Hopefully I can knock it out over a weekend (I'm gonna take my time and enjoy some beverages while i do it because thats how i roll on a weekend

Well , I gave the code, glad it is still working. I ordered my headers over a month ago and just got them this past Tuesday (just the headers), the H pipe is still on backorder due to waiting on flanges (email from Marylandspeed), so if anyone has ordered, expect a long wait (the headers were backordered as well), they claimed Kooks was overwhelmed with orders after that review in 5.0 magazine about all the different headers and werent prepared for it being that the economy sucks, the coating looks great on the headers though.

BTW. the way these were shipped, you couldve dropped them from a 5 story building and not had any damage occur. They were well padded and protected, thats for sure.
