Unfortunately you bought those and there was nothing in there saying it was ceramic coated. You lose. Dont make assumptions on anything with ebay.

Well At least keep them and send them to JET-Hot to get them coated. Sorry for the bad luck I dont go crazy on Ebay anymore when I see stuff. To many shady sellers.

Problem is, he doesn't even say the word "coated" in the page...

I strongly recommend you send the headers to a company to get coated. Hopefully, it'll come out to around $700, the normal price of the header and y-pipe...

what if i just sold them and got some coated ones? jethot said that it would cost like ~250$ to coat them. Is it worth the 250 or should i get new coated ones?

If it was me, I would sell them (not as coated headers ) and then get some stainless steel or JetHot headers.

PM camaroextra. His name is Paul. He's a sponsor and his company will coat exhaust products. Here's a link to his account info:

Maybe his price will be better than Jethot's.

hey look what the guy said

"I wrote clearly in the auction that they were painted with 1400 degree high heat paint and further more they are FAR from a ripoff. Not sure what kind of action you want to take on the deal you got for the price and for not reading what was advertised. Sorry if you are not satisfied but everything is EXACTLY as was stated in the auction."

now, if ANYONE can show me where it says that they are painted... please, let me know
