k so if i was to go with stainless steel i would have to make sure to get a stainless cat to so that it wouldent break with engine torque, correct? that exhaust/header combo sounds nice,

 

Yep. Since you decided on a 2.5inch stainless steel mandrel, I would definitely look into that EBay SSA header/exhaust since its 2.5inch stainless steel mandrel. Save up a little more and get that combo... should see some nice gains from it...

 

Pyro, you could also send that header to Jet Hot to get it ceramic coated if you want.

 

do u possibly have a link to the ebay site i cant seem to find it. thanx
if i got it ceramic coated would that just be to help keep it hotter on the inside and cooler on the out right so i wouldent need my heat sheild and it would give me a slighty better gain

 

here's a link to the page where we discussed it..I don't know if there's any on ebay right now. Hope this helps

Ceramic coating probably won't give you much of a gain... and you really don't need the heat shield even with stock headers unless you get the engine temps extremely hot or if your driving around the desert.

 

thanx, so cermaic coating not really worth it and ya iv always wanted to take my heat sheild off but on HP some members were talking about how they took theres off and it melted somethings plus right now it looks kinda ugly undernieth, but thanx for the tips been very helpfull

Whoever told you that about Ceramic Coating is an idiot, it makes a HUGE difference. Why else do PROFESSIONAL racers get everything ceramic coated?

It's simple.

Heat is your enemy. Less heat = cooler air for your intake. Less Heat = less baking of your rubber parts under the hood. Heat retained in your EXHAUST keeps the air moving FAST out your exhaust. Ceramic coating is a PROVEN plus to any engine.

 

By no means did I mean that it didn't make a difference. Some difference, possibly a few ponies. My advice to you is, since your just getting into this stuff, is to take things slow. For a newbie car tuner, the 200 dollars for ceramic coating is better spent elsewhere.

Ceramic coating, thru Jet Hot and our discount, is like $115 mang.
