Thanks for all the advice on powder coating it really helped in which direction I would go - now for something new -
Now that the headers are on the vehicle I am quite happy with the results as far as performance and fuel mileage improvements. Apparently the old cast iron manifold was quite restrictive. Ill even have to richen up the main system a tad since its now running just a bit lean (I installed an oxygen sensor to monitor before and after). Now, I knew that the headers would be noisier, I just didnt know how much until after I installed them! Ive had headers on vehicles before, but most vehicles have had enough sound deadener so as not to be objectionable. However, this does not appear to be the case this time. Its very noticeable (and no, they arent leaking :-}) at anything over cruising and deceleration so my question is have any of you tried header wrap? I know of the pitfalls of using it, increased chance of rusting through etc, but does it cut down the noise down to cast iron level or close? If so I would go that option and live with the fact that these wont last quite as long Barry Schwartz San Diego, CA -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Microsoft.
