headers

[silverbird02]

im cant decide to go with the ceramic or black pacesetters i live in H-town ,texas and its super hot in summer and really cold in winter its some weird weather but i was wondering if the ceramic coationg would really make a diff i know its suppose to keep the engine a lil cooler meaning better perfomance and like shiny and anti rust longer than the black finish but wat do u guys think?

Re: headers

Go with the ceramic finish! They won't chip or rust on you, and you'll get many more years out of your headers with a ceramic coating.

Re: headers

i say go for the painted ones. that is what i did like 4 years ago. never had a problem with them. save the money and buy more toys

Re: headers

I bought my RK Sport headers 9 years ago with there coating, they still look new, no cracks and of course no rust since I'm in AZ. They still look great after all these years. They got a bad wrap because the have 2 bolt flanges and leaking problems, but the first thing I did when I got them was to have 3 bolt flanges put on and I have replaced the gaskets maybe twice since in the 9 years because the copper ones were desinergrating from time.LOL It up to you ,if you plan on keeping the car more than 5 years get the coated and if you don't think you will have it long just paint them.

Re: headers

i plan on keeping it till the axle and engine fall off!! but ill get coated and would it be a good idea to buy better gaskets and bolts ive heared pacesetter gaskets suck big time and the bolts i just grade 8 cuz of heat resistance

Yes, I got mine from WickedV6. They did my gasket ;and a stage 8 bolts are awesome too.

It is said that the coated one helpes lower the engine temp slightly, but performance wise I don't think there's a difference between the two.
