Tritainium Headers?

my room mate was talking about a new type of header that is coming out. Called Tritainium Coated headers? he said that if you can break, crack, distort or damage in anyway they will refund your money and send you a new set! but there like 2000 bucks for a set, but you get the advantages of Ceramic coated with the advantage of Stainless. any truth in this? i cant find anything on it.

$2000 would buy enough high temp black paint to last untill I die, with a lot of money left over for other mods. If there is any truth to this, I can't see them selling very many sets.

Wow, those headers must be what the Enterprise uses to vent plasma from the warp core.

Or just buy headers made of 321 aircraft grade stainless...which will last just as long, if not longer than some $2000 coated ones.

id buy a set...and take an rpg to them. I guarantee they will break. then you get your 2 grand back and get a free set of expensive headers. then you sell the 2 grand headers to your buddy at a discount of 1500. Then you buy some kooks or AR stainless headers and pocket the rest!

Instead of Tritainium, they are unobtainium.

hmmm the advantage of ceramic and the benefits of stainles...

sounds like my headers!

Stainless steel and ceramic coated... why would you need to spend $2k for that combination? Heck even QTP's + ceramic coating will only set you back 1k give or take a bit.

Also... Tritanium.... laff...

Might as well bring out the transparent aluminum, durotanium, unobtainium... lmao...

You guys dont get out much. Try looking at pricing for 2" headers or 1 7/8 stepped to 2"

Prices have gone up. Just because someone dumps chinese grade stainless on ebay doesnt mean a more expensive header is unobtanium......

tritanium ok, sounds like a joke but look at pricing for bigger regular stainless headers from Kooks and ARH. $1700 is what you pay if you want to play with big cubes.
