Default Headers back from the coaters!!!

I just got back from the coaters, I had my AEM headers recoated with a ceraminc metalic, I think they turned out great!!!! 2 coats on the outside and 1 on the inside... Please excuse all the finger prints on the finish, I need to wipe them down before installing...

Thanks Thunderwagon for recommended the shop to me, I am extremely happy with the finished product!!

Before (Sorry the only pic i have)



After














While they were being coated I added some fake cats (4in pipe w/beveled ends) to my y-pipe and threw on a quick coat of paint... Hopefully this will keep the emission ***** at bay...

Dang those look awesome! How do they coat the inside? Do they dip the inside because Id imagine it would be hard to get an even spray on the inside farther down in the tubes.

Nice stuff BlackGMC

I have no clue how they coat the insides, but you can look down the tubes and see it... I will ask him when I drop off some other parts for powder coating..
