Default Help Headers

Hey guys, I want to know if anyone makes a 1 7/8 stainless steel header and has the ceramic coated option? My number one choice is ARH, but I want to know if anyone coats them at all?

I dont think you need to coat stainless steel, stainless is enough.

We don't coat anything. If you do want the coating we will drop ship to whatever coating company you want. Masterz28 is correct you don't need to coat SS. Recently we were OEM on the Viper ACRX track only cars and all the headers for these cars are none coats with no heat issues. Just something to think about. If you need anything else please let me know.

Thanks guys, I work with stainless everyday so I'm quite familiar with it. Would anyone care to explain to me why ceramic coating doesn't keep heat down with stainless steel headers? This may come across as cynical but I'm legitimately curious and want to learn.

thanks.

SS headers still get hot!
I know you can get a ceramic coated option with Kooks headers.

Using a wrap is an option.
