Bill, Yes it says it in bold letters. I called Hooker and they confirmed it. I really wouldn't be going to the trouble if they weren't so adamant about it. They give you break in instructions for the coating and say if you break in a motor with new headers before you cure the ceramic coating you will ruin the coating and they plainly say they will NOT warranty them after. They say the headers get too hot before you have cure the coating and this damages it. If that makes sense. It sounded legit to me.
