I have been sitting here looking at herron performance's website and i just cant make the decicion on armor coated or just that painted ones. I have the stage 8's, the gaskets, pb blaster, beer ; just have to decide
Armor coated
pros
- proposed head reduction
- they look better
-
cons
-extra $117
-have been told the finish will start to come off anyway after a year and start to rust anyway (have been told that but have yet to see pics after a year or so.)
-in the 3.4 you really cant even see them
-
its not that i dont have the cash for them its just that im having a hard to justifying the fact that spending the extra coin for somehting that will just start to rust anyway after a year dosnt seem worth it. Also according to several posts the coating is only rated to about a 1000 degrees (the reason it starts to flake) while getting the JET-Coated one ($471) is the onlything that will hold up to the heat in the engine bay.
does anyone have armor coated headers - does the finish hold up?
