anyone running black coated headers? and if so do u have any problems with them if not them i'm thinking about just getting the black ones so i can save some money wehn i do my true dual system
The black is not a coating, it is just black paint to keep the headers from rusting until somebody buys them. That paint will burn off in no time and the headers will look like crap pretty soon.
Doesn't jethot have a coating which is actually black?
JET-HOT TDC™ - In applications where heat must be dissipated rapidly, this rough, black coating (with a temperature tolerance of 1,300°F) combines color and surface profile to lower temperatures within exhaust piping.

I'd think if you're going to be spending money on 'em in the first place, it'd be better to do it right so they'll last (spend a bit more and get the Jet Hot coating)
