you ain't kidding, while I think these headers at $699 are the best deal going today due to the reasons stated above, and while they are probably going to look very good & be very well made, this does not mean I think they are a good deal. Us LSx guys tend to get quite the mark up $$ wise.
I reserve the right to change this statement upon further evaluation

I would suggest ceramic coating.....couldn't believe how hot my engine bay was after I installed my Supermaxx - and if you dont coat them, be sure and wipe/clean them before you start the motor....they will instantly tarnish where you touched them. And I'm not sure but I think when you coat them, they will stay silver and not 'blue'. Mine are psychadelic purplebluegreenyellowblack

I will eventually coat them, just depends om when and where I get my wideband bung welded on.

Thanks for the tips, I will follow them
