Polished Kooks almost finished!
Polished Kooks almost finished! The driver side is basically done I just want to hit it with some white rouge to bring out that mirror shine and remove the haze. Im finished with the mothers billet polish tho I got everything the flange is even shiney just hard to tell in pics cause it has a rough texture.
Here is the white rouge ill be using

I have my engine out right now for an engine swap, and my headers are kooks stainless but they have about 8k miles on them. Still in great shape, but they've turned a dark brownish color. Not rust, but they look kinda nasty. I was thinking about having them coated, but if it will last maybe I will try this. Yours look great btw!

They look great but run the car for about 5 minutes they will turn a gold color at the top of the primaries which will eventually spread to the rest of the header. IMO that color stainless turns is beautiful but they wont stay looking almost chrome for long.

look great but 5 minutes after they are on, all that work will be gone. They will be that nice goldish color.

yeah those look ******* awesome, its just too bad they wont stay just like that. That scoobi or whatever it is still looks alot nicer than my kooks after a year, but its a far cry from what you have now.
