I bought the header from the 1.6 that Ataim and Speedracer pulled out last week, and I am thinking about freshening it up with a new ceramic coating. Would it be worth it? I don't want a TCB deal to loose its CB appeal. If I do it, does anyone have any idea where I should go for this, what it would cost me, and what type of prep work I should do in advance? It is pictured below.

Kags1969 has a place that did his headers... perhaps he'll post as soon as he gets back from Austin.
They look really good too...
I had forgotten about that...I just dug up the pics that he posted and they do look great! Thanks!Quote:

The individual probably couldn't do something that large, but I know automotive machine could.
Additionally there is Performance Coating in Arlington that has a good reputation.
There is another guy, and I am having my valve cover powder coated this weekend, and I think that he might be able to do ceramic coating as well. I will check with him when I pick up the valve cover.

Yes.Quote:

Picked up the header last night from the ceramic coater... looks good, I will try to get a picture of it tonight. Next stop, TownNorth Mazda after work for a new gasket.
Cool any Pics of my old header? If you need I can "host" them for you.Quote:
