Headers painted or coated

Just trying to see what everyone uses.

I personally like the stainless..

i have the ceramic coated ones

Coated are the best bang for the buck! IMO pacesetter FTW!!!!!

it all depends on what you realisitcially plan to do. if just want headers for sake of it and never pop hood. run painted.

if youre building a big HP high dollar motor you wont be using cheap headers. so all will be stainless at the point

For my LS1 project i bought coated edelbrock headers:ugh2:

coated will never turn colors or get rusty! as long as ya got the cash they look good for a long time

your pacesetters are rusty at the bottoms and they are coated

stainless= good investment i've got dynatech on mine and love em yeah so they turn a little blue over time, but imo i think it looks cool

If I decide to go with headers, I will choose stainless, probably OBX, mostly due to road salt in the winters here.

ceramic coated here.. no fading or rust on my headers...

Ceramic ALL THE WAY... It raises the speed your exhaust, so that it travels faster

9 times out of ten ceramic will not flake or rust, unless it is scratched.

Same principle of wrapping the headers. Keep the heat in the the velocity is higher. Simple physics.

Is stainless going to behave the same way, or would those need to be wrapped?

I'm looking at going with stainless works, will be a little ways off but.. that's cool

There's a header kit, lts, y pipe with high flow cats just under 1,500 :hyper2:

I am going with the pacesetters that are coated. its nice and suttle under the hood if you not building a show machine.
