need a lil help

[disturbdgt]

Ok as yall may Know from my parts list thread i just bought a set of BBK Chrome Shorty headers (got a good deal on them). But I was wondering is there anything i can put on them to like protect them or prolong the life of them or even maybe keep them a lil cooler (i.e. like keep the temps down so it wont be so hot under the hood) Just need a lil help on this guys, much appreciated.

Chrome? Nope, nothing that won't spoil the look.

well i mean cant i get like some hitemp protectant or paint and paint them or even take them somewhere and get them ceramic coated? I dont care if i dont see the chrome or not

I think even the high temp paint will eventually wear off.

I have no clue about how well powder coating would hold up on a set of headers.

And maybe try some header wrap?

oops sorry i meant ceramic coated. Fixed it

as long as the headers arent in contact with anything it shouldnt be too much of a problem anyway.. but if youre that worried about it i'd just get some heat wrap and wrap em up.

but make sure they arent rubbing anything. after my first start up while it was idleing my bbk tuned length shorties melted through an A/C line and filled my garage with a freon fog lol.
