Let me know what you guys think, this is a header i ordered, waited a month, and have had it about 2 months, not put it on yet, just wanted some oppinions on it, also, what would be good to coat this header with, cause as you can tell in the pics, it is starting to rust, so obviously it would be alot worse if i did have it on the car, what should i coat this header with. Sorry for huge pics, i cant figure out how to make them smaller.

Get that thing coated. Nice, but will look better coated.

 

sorry to hear you had to wait that long and it did that so fast.. yikes

id get it coated at a professional coaters.. if not then a big bottle of high temp paint... but look into a few good pro coaters.. (jet coat, hotcoat?)

 

looks nice! did you keep it outside? or just moisture in the air? i thought i read on here once about coating headers inside and outside, don't know if it would be worth it, if coating it would be just for cosmetic concerns..

Nice looking header, we use Calico for everything on our cars, might give them a call. great work, and turn around time also.. http://www.calicocoatings.com/

street collector

 

Thanks alot, i knwo i need to get it coated, and that is just from people touching it, and the moisture in the air, its cool, i knew it was going to do it until i got it coated, i think im going to jet hot sterling coat it, its something new my dads friend told me about, its pretty nice, ill try to find info on it and post it here.

 

dang, how much did you pay for this?

I would also like to know.

 

I paid about $530 to the door, and like i said i have not had the header on yet, but my friend has it in on a b16b in a EK, he loves his, VERY nice sound, and he says really good gain. Im having mine jet-hot sterling coated. AN-R

 

how much is it usually to get a flange welded onto a header like this? bothers me they dont come with one for 530!!

 

its a good header, we've sold them a few times.

i would really suggest either getting SS or having the coating done..

next to that, perhaps An R can give you the info on their coater, since you didnt get the option: its not that expensive, they seem to do a good job.

 

$530 is not a lot for this header. it is very competitively priced. a flange will only cost you 20-30max. under 600 and it will perform the same or better than most headers costing 1000-up. add stainless steel or ceramic coating for $200 extra for durability and youre still way under 800.
we dont provide a flange because there is simply too many engine and chassis combinations with the swaps you guys are doing. this allows us to get these headers out much faster with the volume of orders we deal with.

we use embee performance coatings in CA. they charge about $175 per header.
