high temp engine paint will burn off of headers. I have heard barbecue paint holds up pretty good.

Same here, I've been looking for some because I have an exhaust leak at the manifolds that I can't fix.

I would but at this point I would rather just get headers. I've got new gaskets on, and I did the EGR/AIR delete so I don't need emissions hook ups anymore.

i think there felpro 1406's and i think the bolts are 3/8-16 @ 1" long. make sure you get bolts that have a 5/16" head that way you can tighten them much more easily
