Which Header Coating?
I HATE the look of rusted headers. I want stainless but they're pricey. Do header coatings hold up at all? My car is just a 'play' car and is garaged most of the year.

Re: Which Header Coating?
Just get painted headers. If it sits parked most of the time, no sense in spending the extra dough.....

Re: Which Header Coating?
The paint coating headers come with burns off the first time you drive the car (and smells nasty!), the paint is there only to prevent rust during storage.
If you're talking about painting them yourself, that can be done but you must bake it in an oven for the paint to last...
Header wraps are another option, the best one IMO
