ceramic coated?
alright black steel are 200 and ceramic coating is another 100 bucks or so. is it worth it to get them in ceramic coating? or is the only reason to reduce under-hood temps?

That's what I say, but if you are going to do it, do it right with ceramic.

Just out of curosity, how well does it work to use a header paint like POR-20(http://www.imperialrestoration.com/p...e_coatings.asp), then using exhaust wrap over that?

DON'T use wrap it will ruin the headers no matter what coating is on them the por 20 is supposed to work, but I haven't seen real long term results yet

Why does wrap ruin the headers, does it hold the moister(sp) in or something?
