Thanks !!

the coated ones keep heat under the hood down. that's really their only advantage. someone did a dyno with coated and uncoated mac mids, and lost a hp and gained 2 tq between the two. so if hooker header uncoated vs coated results are close to the same as the macs, then it shouldn't matter if they are coated or not. but i don't know, and i've always heard, "go with coated!" so, i am

I have the black Pacesetters. When they arrived, I had them sandblasted and coated with Redline POR 15. It's high temp manifold paint. I used the aluminum finish. I'll post pictures later, but I've had them on for about 3 months and I have no rust. I'm also in Hawaii and it rains like hell over here.
