Default Header install ?

Hi all

I will install soon a ceramic coated header on my R
My newbee question is : can I drive "hard" just after the install ?
or is it necessary to accustom (gently ) the header to heat ?

Thanks.

i think the "golden rule" for everything that is installed into one's car should be gradually and gently worn in.

Yeaaa, of course when I say "just after install" I understand myself...
I always warm up the Miss before kicking asses, or trying to...

disconnect the battery while you work on the car.
Reconnect the battery when you are done.
Let the car run for 5-10 minutes after the installation to check for leaks, etc.
Go have fun with the Miss!

Don't forget after a couple hundred miles/km's to go back and re-torque the bolts.
