Oh sweet Jesus I love the size of the viewfinder. I don't think I can ever look at my APS-C sensor the same way ever again.

My stuff was coated. I havent wrapped it. Wrapping it will decrease its life. So I would just send it out for coating.

It's like being back in time with this car. The car is 2 years older than me lol.

Yeah I have heard that for some have also heard from others that it will not mess up the swain coating and will help drop under hood temps and protect wires, the plastic tray/pan. All of the stuff i have read says that while coating will protect the part and help maintain the heat inside the exhaust it will still radiate lots of heat and wrapping will help in the lowering of the radiating heat. One of Jet Hots Main people wraps his Jet Hot coated headers and has been for years. But I'm going Swain coating. I Have heard lots of good things and little to no complaints about them. How are your under hood temps with just coating and what coating did you go with?

Im thinking of wrapping my ebay headers just to lower the temps and keep the engine noise coming from the tailpipe. If the header fails, Ill buy a new one for $100

Thats what Im saying, if it fails Im not out that much. If it last two years I think I got my money worth. Especially since the header already has 10000 miles or so on it since I installed it.

Latest additions to the car...

Had them installed this weekend & man do they work well, with my E85 tune the 3years worn stockers were struggling a bit to keep up. Now, no worries
