Header Paint or Powder Coating?
Which would be a better idea for my headers? Almost all of the factory paint has burned off, so i'm gonna clean them up and then do something with them. Either get some header paint or I'll have it powder coated. Which would be a better idea (ie, which would look better, which would last longer?)

Send them off to Jet Hot or get some high temp paint. Powder coating will not work, the exhaust gets way too hot for it.

Definently JET HOT....if you go to www.jet-hot.com you can aks them to send you some information on it. I asked them for some info...and they sent me a catalog with a video tape....it is really great...and it's free...also great guys to deal with. When I get my TES headers...I'm going to send them off to get them coated...the only way to go..IMO....

Hehe, i wish i could go with a Jet Hot coating.. i even got the tape and catalog that they send you, but i just don't have the money for it right now.
TPI383 - If i call one of the powder coating shops around here, what should i ask to have put on my headers? And how much do you think it would cost?

Ok, well, I thought i was told to powder coat my headers by a friend of mine, but I misunderstood.
But... what was TPI383 saying about hi-temp powdercoatings? Does this work?
