Polished my DC Sports header!

While I was back in the states visiting I decided to polish my header, when I installed it 5 years ago my buddy gave me windex with ammonia in it and it screwed up the finish. Here it is, I also painted the flange, we'll see how it hold up I put almost 1500 miles on it after I painted the flage so it looks like its going to be OK.

It took about 4 hours straight, worth it though

I have the same ceramic 4-2-1 2 piece that has been on my '95 EX since '97. DC makes quality headers. It still looks good as new with no leaks.
