Please beware I can vouch for construction quality and reduction in back pressure. But the sound quality (whether you like it or not) is a subjective thing.

Not the exhaust system just the headers. The exhaust system is SS and doesn't need anything done to it.

Seems there has been a lot of discussion with pros and cons on coating headers. Do we the zroners like it and or recommend it?

I recommend headers to be coated. I have seen stainless steel headers after a couple of years of use and they do turn grungy looking. If not for heat retention resulting in hp gain, at the very least do it for cosmetic reason. For $350, at least for me, it's a money well spent considering typical 2 person 6hr (total of about 12 hours) work for installation. I prefer not to do it over.

Those headers are ceramic coated? Not what I expected. Thanks Scrrem, I think you just made up my mind.

Me too, not what I expected either from ceramic, once I saw them, I had to have it done. I had Jet-hot do mine, but I'm sure there are loads of companys out there.
