I just ordered a set of ford motor sport shorty headers from Summitt. I got the chrome ones instead of the ceramic coating ( dont ask) will I have any heat problems,spark plug wires or anything else?

You wont have any problems like that, but they will turn blue and start rusting quickly.

Yeah, it will take a LONG time to get past that.
