Same thing happened to my unwrapped headers back in '09. The cable is now routed up over the top of the engine instead of around the block next to the headers.

Yes sir! Found a place only 30 minutes from home that does ceramic coating. God I love the DFW area.

Was cheap too! A lot cheaper than what Jet-Hot wanted.

Jet hot was stupid expensive for exterior and interior coating. That's the only reason I haven't coated mine yet. If you don't mind, who did them and what did it run you? Are they just coated on the outside or inside too?

Inside and out. And as you can tell they were used and pitted up pretty good.

but in total it was 275$ I believe its a little cheaper if they are new.
