A few of you wanted to know what the outcome was on my headers. I decided to take them to Xtreme performance heat coating in Camarillo, CA. I got them back today. They charged me $150 and it took less than two days to get them. They did an outstanding job. They came back in plastic bags so no damage was there. I'm very happy with the results and glad I went this route. I posted a couple of pictures of the ceramic coat.
If anyone is interested, I posted their address on the previous post of "painting my headers."
They also have a website:www.xtremeperformanceheatcoatings.com

I also just got my hand built long tube headers back from HPC. They charged me $225. Took two months, but I wasn't in a hurry.
