Ill never run uncoated headers again. Well worth the money. $450 installed definately sounds like a good deal. The x-pipe kit is the way Id go, but Id also prefer to install my own headers. That way I know its right.

Post by: Captkaos on September 22, 2009, 02:25:32 pm: sorry our kit doesn't work on 4x4s. I just posted that for a comparison.

I would get coated headers also. Being some type of ceramic/barrier coating.

for about a month maybe. You can still have them ceramic coated. Check for local coating businesses. I saved enough in spark plug wires, to pay for the coating,
