Header coating

Rob, if you haven't started building them yet, seriously consider making them stainless. I was on my third set of coated headers. the first was new, hand built, then jet hot inside out. they rusted, sent back got warranty re-done, they rusted again! second set, new hand built, then nitroplated, inside and out. they rusted. I was spending around $900. to build and coat these. this time I had a guy build mine in stainless. he charged me $1,200. but I think it was well worth it and I should never need another set.
