Anyone have any comments or good/bad experiences with the Mac Longtube Headers that are coated in the HTS? Thanks

Just be prepared to drill out the holes on the flange a little to get them lined up.

hmm...do they fit up good otherwise? No leaks, no rust? I want to get good stuff and I'd be willing to pay more for better quality but if they're good quality I'll pay less too!!

I just bought some off Ebay that are the HTS coated in ceramic paint (1600 degrees). They look like they're in great shape. Where can you buy the gaskets and the bolts? And any particularbrand of bolts or just make sure they're stage 8? Thanks for the help already!

I used ford racing gaskets and just used the studs with some really bad *** locking washers. no leaks and will never have to tighten them. Hell when I take them off next year to do the turbos I will have to pull the studs out to get them off.
