Coating non-coated headers.
I ran my car a few times last year for the first time with my new combo. My question is, after a while when my headers start to rust pretty bad, can I pull them off and have them blasted and coated? How much would a process like this cost me. I won't do it for another few years, just curious. P.S. i have the Hooker 2210's Super Comps.

You can do it. If the surfaces get pitted, the coating may not stick as well.
It's best to get them coated new, but Jet Hot won't charge you any more to do used than they do new.

My estimate from jet-hot was just under $300 for a set of long tubes + shipping, the slip fit connection will not make any difference.

Re: Coating non-coated headers.
check around locally first,I got my shortys blasted&jet-hot coated for $125.
Don't know if anyone in Appleton Wis. does this but thought I would throw that idea out there.
Check at any powdercoating companies in the local yellow pages.
And as five7kid mentioned about the coating of used headers,yes it can be done.

Re: Coating non-coated headers.
sorry, not trying to hijack a thread but the coating on headers is nothing but some kind of powdercoating? It my not be as stylish as the chrome look but would regular powder coating do the same thing?
