Default Coated TOG's

I got them coated at a local powder coating shop. They also do ceramic coatings. He tells me it is the same stuff JetHot uses. Heres a pic:



It cost me 97.64 to get them done, and he told me if anything happens to them to bring them back so he can fix them.

Are they going to stay that color because I think they look sweet. I thought that the TOG headers already came coated.

I don't know if they will stay that color or not. TOG's don't come coated. You have an option, or I did, when you buy them to get them JetHot coated for 150 I think it was.

I had a choice between that or a metallic finish. I wanted that so it would look more factory and might not be to noticable to the untrained eye if I were to pop the hood.

Gimmie a little while .. I'll try and scan his business card (haven't used my scanner yet and this seems like a good chance).

I dunno yet .. Right now they are on open header and it's running so freakin rich it's fouling plugs and throwing lean codes.

The PCM sees it running lean, and is loading it up with fuel.

I think it's due to open header though, or that's what the experts say in the other thread.
