Default Q about headers and if they hit something.

I have a ding on one of my headers, the ding is right before the collector, it took off some of the coating, what can I do to fix it?
Do you think this will cause any kind of problems?

Unless your headers are stainless, you will probably see rust develop in the damaged area. If you want to go through the pain, you could remove the header and have it re-coated.

Otherwise you might try this high temp coating from Eastwood on the damaged area: http://www.eastwoodco.com/itemdy01.a...1.x=20&I1.y=77

I used it on my Y-pipe and have been very happy with how its held up. The silver color will be more matte than the header coating, but should look reasonably close.
