who looks at headers anyways. looks dont make you fast. but the ceramic is alittle cooler running temps. but after a while the chrome will wear off and rust.

I have always liked the way the headers turn blue.Its normal for them to discolor but if this is a carb check to see if you are slightly running lean.If its efi its pretty much self adjusting and dont worry about it.</P>


Just be thankul they didnt have paint on them.They stink to hell and back and smoke.</P>
