I have used them many times and I am happy with them. I use their exhaust coatings on almost everything I build now.

1- decide which picture you want to place here.

2- try to re-size it to a med size : 800x600

3- for resizing needs if you use Win XP : http://www.microsoft.com/windo....mspx
If you don't have XP try using a program such as Photoshop.

4- once you have the picture edited to a reasonable size you need to host it.
there are a few free ones out there, http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com is the main one to use then there are some others that I have found use full but you can only load one pic at a time. These are http://www.picuploader.com/ and http://imageshack.us/ .

5- Now that you have used one of these servers you will see a link, Cut and paste that on this site surrounded by [i m g] first and then [/i m g] last (just be sure to eliminate the spaces between the letters.)

better pic of swain coating. Not my pic though.

It has a rough feel to it, kinda like rhino lining....it is 4X thicker than most other coatings, which are usually a powder coat type of coating and they suck. I have had all three, swain, other coatings and header wrap.

Swain tech is the sheit, best coating out there but header wrap is much cheaper and just as effective!

I used to have an Apex'i header coated by swaintech, the coating was THICK not like the coating u would normally think of as being called ceramic. When I switched it out to an uncoated JDM 4-1 I would pop the hood and could tell there was more heat in the engine bay (I know its all relative)


i'm not completely sure but that maaaaay be a pic of the header I had, it looked exactly the same. i'll try to find some more pics in the vault
