When i delivered them to be coated i was told that ceramic coated headers should never be wrapped.
Ceramic coated and wrapped headers.
Ceramic coatings and header wraps are a sure way to add horsepower and a performance attitude to your motor.
Stainless headers get around this problem by using a material that doesn t corrode in the first place.
I recommend coated and wrapped headers.
These coatings made of aluminum powder mixed with ceramic dust are sprayed onto the header as a powder and then baked on in an oven.

I also took them a new rear end housing to be silver coated to be used on my brother in las s deuce coupe.
How do i know.
But beyond the shine and shield ceramic coating also has its.
Please do not hurt yourself trying to prove me wrong on this i physically accidentally know what i m talking about.
Ceramic coated headers ceramic coated.
Both ceramic coated headers and exhaust wraps improve horsepower so lets go over their pros and cons and see which one is best for you.
Properly coated headers are thus much more durable than the thinner pipes of uncoated headers.
Ceramic coatings take that a step further.
Ceramic coating and exhaust wraps is a way to trap the heat within your exhaust pipes and thus causes it to quickly heat up and expand.
A ceramic header coating also provides protection against the corrosive materials in the exhaust.
I work for a header manufacturer and we see it everyday.
The insulating properties of header wrap will help the scavenging process even more because unlike ceramic the material used in header wraps don t retain heat on the surface.
Have your headers ceramic coated instead.
Wrapping headers makes sense from a heat standpoint but i m sorry unless you have another 400 to 1500 to drop on a new set of headers in 6 months the lower temperature isn t worth the cost under any circumstances.
Airborne coatings did a beautiful job on them coating both inside and outside of the headers and the sidepipes.
Ceramic is a highly durable substance that resists corrosion and stands up to a large amount of abuse.
Even better this highly specialized insulation blocks intense engine heat that can rob your ride of horsepower and damage engine components.
