there is no need to coat them. they do look badass once coat though. i think its lawman who had his kooks coated. they came out very nice.

There's really no reason to coat stainless steel headers. The stainless steel already keeps temperatures cooler than mild steel would. It's really just for appearance. Kooks does offer their headers coated, but it adds another couple hundred dollars. QTP probably does too, but I haven't checked.
