i got paid today and i came in the range of affording the next mod for my car, the 4-1 header. and as i shop around, (mainly on SR because SR rules all), i notice the HVE 4-1 header you guys sell, they come in two types. powder coated and not so powder coated.
im doin a silver theme for the engine bay of my car and i decided that i want the silver header. but which header is that? the powder coated one or the other one?

i dont care which is which i just want the silver one bc itll go great with my silver CAI and my silver strut bar.

sorry for the long post

 

The untreated metal is silver, but it won't stay that colour. Untreated headers discolour to brown/purple pretty quick.

Some ceramic coating(NOT power coating, that's useless on headers) places let you choose the colour the coatings will be, dunno what the options are through SR.

 

what kind of place can i go to have it wrapped in something like silver? incoming stupid question...........!!!!
would pep boys or autozone or a place like that be able to do it? i want a header and i want it to be silver, not purple frown

 

maybe a high temp clear coat would work???
dont know though. i have some im looking at it and it says good to 500 degrees, but i think the exhaust manifold gets hotter, im not sure, its made by duplicolor if you wanna check it out.
someone correct me though. smile.gif

 

header=1200 degrees ish

 

there's not a chance in hell that you can paint or put anything on the header and make it stick.

The only way to get your "silverish" color is to have them cermaic coat your header and get it in a grey or something.
