Yea, thats sounds about right. You guys think that paint that will come off easy? is it regular paint? Or will it be a B*tch to take off?

All the painted headers I have delt with over the years burns th epaint off upon startup. The only hope to keep them looking good is a high heat paint like what I mentioned that cures when you fire it up. You will need to get the paint off the header first though. Try using paint stripper. If that doesnt work then get a propane torch and start running it over the paint and it should bubble off. The paint is very thin.
