Default Ceramic coating on headers

I have a set of Pacesetter LTs on my truck. The stearing shaft rubs one of the primarys when I make slight left turns. When I get off my *** and "clerance" teh header with my hammer, is the ceramic coating going to flake off, and start rusting, or should it stay on?

i would say as long as you dind't beat the crap out of it. it should be ok. my asm's have taken a beating and where they were hit isn't rusting yet. now the parts that havn't been hit oare startin to rust up.

I don't know if that's good advice, but I'll spread the word!

WHITE - The coating won't come off unless you scuff it real bad with the hammer. Use some leather or something to avoid scratching the coating.
