Yeah, which is a pain in the butt cause I dont have an oven to just bake them in. you gotta idle for 10 minutes, cool down for 20, idle for 20, cool again for 20 minutes, then od normal driving for a half hour.....which was the best part lol, cause I had to drive to my guys exhaust shop to have the rest of my exhaust installed, I.E the muffler. I want to go down to my local appliance recycling center and grab one so I can powder coat and bake stuff like this. Like I said the wrap, I could care less if it rots out my headers, My under hood temps stay lower, and it gives it a little pizzaz under the hood as well. I did all I could, and using such items like the 2000 temp paint and the silicon should prolong the life of them substantially. The only problem I encountered with them ,that I will properly address, is the no. 1 cylinder is rubbing the steering knuckle. It grabs just the lip of the knuckle, so I grinded a smiggen off, and greatly reduced the rub, but certain occasions like accelerating while turning, you can feel the vibrations coming through the steering wheel. its a flaw that Pacesetter evidentally has with these headers.
