I got mine with the coating. They where installed for two years before I ever started and drove it and they turned to rust. My brother had a set of Dougs headers that did the same thing. They looked good the first year. Maybe in a dryer climate they would hold up better but I didn't have any luck.
I'm trying a 2000deg paint from KBS this time around. To soon to tell how it will hold up. But it hasn't burned off or blistered yet in the 6 times I have had it out.
Those would be the six days it didn't rain there in CR this summer? Just kiddn', sorta, on my way back there in a couple of weeks, and would like to play some golf.
I am going to have them coated, just curious as to whether the RARE coating is worth the price. We have some very good aerospace coating companies here in Phoenix, would probably cost a little more, but really only want to do it one time.
