okay i got these headers and offroad y pipe today for 250$.. bout some 1200 degree ceramic type header/exhuast paint.. they were a lil dull and dirty but not rusted even tho they are old enuff to be.. so i just cleaned em up sanded em down and then my dad got ahold of them and sprayed them... i woulda done better tho and will prolly lightly sand and spray again as he missed some spots..
also going to do the y pipe! then im going to port the primaries out get some new header gaskets and bolts and get them suckers on! i think they look good for 1/2 the price of new ones!!! and whatever the hts coating is, "high temp spray paint" it would seem like, held up pretty well with no rust.. i think this will do even better, what do ya'll think???

Thanks for your opinion Bad Blu... However, I would rather (and did) spend under $200 recoating my Macs to look brand new than spend $500+ on some low end LTs with potential fitment and clearance problems (and the requirement for a new Y pipe). If I went to longtubes I would have went Kooks and a new Y pipe, which isn't in the budget anytime soon.
Also, it's been shown time and time again that Macs don't lose that much to LTs. 5-8rwhp low end at most, and almost dead even in the top end. (See the Exhaust FAQ). I have under $500 in my entire exhaust setup and am making over 410 to the wheels on motor alone.
So much for wasting my money.![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
CarDomain must be having hosting problems, the link to the pic is correct.
