You should get the headers coated or they're gonna rust quick. You shoulda gone with the coated ones to begin with. $450 is a good price. The X pipe kit is a nice option too.

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.

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,
