Maybe I missed it somewhere. What kind of manifolds or headers are on it now?

Just placed my order, which ceramic coating did you go with. I decided on the grey.

I thought about it until he said the grey is more durable. I guess I have a couple of weeks to change my mind.

If you have any buyer's remorse on your FPA headers, check out this header page.

i've coated ceramic headers b4.
i appreciate the elbow grease required to polish to a nice sheen.
if i could get polished for similar price...that'd b my pick.

as far as durability...i prefer SS so it won't be too ugly if coating wears off in places. either way i don't know any thing better than in/out ceramic coating on headers.

did they explain why there is a difference in durability?
