Q1) what is the best approach to paint headers with non heat treated paint. should they be sanded and painted with heat treated paint or Will painting over the non heat treated paint work?

Q2) buying hooker LT headers soon any one have a good place to go for the best prices?

thanks!!

I sandblasted mine, then painted. I think if you painted over the non-heat treated paint then when it burnt off, the heat treated paint would burn off also.

summitracing has 'em for $150, free shipping but you pay $8.95 for handling, I got mine quick and paid no tax since I'm in CA, they're in Nevada
