All the wiring has been redone, this was just hot side fab. You can actually snake the fill cap out of there, (will have to get a billet one), and a funnel goes right on through the tubes. Obviously not something you do right after shutting it off, but they cool down fairly quick.

The tubing is real thick, it holds a lot of the heat in, and I love the look of welded and heat treated stainless, I could never coat that. They were fully argon back purged when welded, that helps give the welds some of the unique look.
LOL Thanks!

lol, you better keep all plastic and rubber away from those headers then lol. I coated my full-race manifold on my honda. It was coated by swaintec and its pretty awesome stuff, it barely ever gets hot. And when swaintec coats them, they do the inside and outside, which means the gas stays hotter and helps propel it through the turbine hotter, and its alot more boost friendly. Only way I will ever have a turbo car again.
