Anyone living in a hot climate have issues with stainless headers?
Someone at a local shop here mentioned that the A/C will cut -off if it gets too hot...
Anyone ever have problems?

 

No clue but the header does add a lot more heat to the engine bay.

 

my AC didn't cut off when I was doing my cool down laps w/ it on in 110degree temps

 

That's hot.

 

I think that's what robert was trying to yell at me thru his open windows. Of course I had my windows up so I couldn't hear him Even w/ AC @ full blast on the 2.5hr drive home from the track, 1/2 of which was pretty close to the 110 track temp it stayed a nice 65 inside #234

yshi - who will not remove the AC unless it breaks

 

.....the wires to the fan on the driver's side fan start to get "crinkly."

 

Any harm in wiring fan to be on permanently?

Heat concerned me a bit too considering how close the header is to the radiator. So I had mine coated. http://www.qccoatings.com/ Haven't had any issues for 4 months.

I still don't like how the header pipe goes directly under the oil pan constantly cooking the oil. Been thinking of wrapping that part but probably won't. I know Spoon makes some sort of thermal wrap for the bottom of the oil pan. When the car is in motion header heat is probably not anything to worry about.

 

I sent mine to http://www.hpccoatings.com but have not yet reinstalled the header...

 

I was just looking at my fan wires the other day, and yes the got "crinkly" before I wrapped the header.

But since I soon plan to generate even more heat :

since the naked headers will heat up the engine bay more then it is recommended to coat them or put on heat shields?
I guess this only applies to stock or JDM 4-1.

 

heat shields rule
