The std ceramic coating on the pacesetters isn't anything impressive. It is dull and very thin. Mine was showing a few rust discoloration specs after 5k miles down low on them. I'd either order the nickle plated or the painted ones and have them jet-hotted. But if the budjet is tight, the regular ceramics are worth the money over painted IMO.

what would the total cost be to have reg ones jet-hotted? more expensive than just buying the already coated ones?
after muffler/tune, do you guys agree that these are the next best step performance modding? (before intake)

If you dont care about looks, just performance and reliability.....how good would just getting the cheapo painted headers and throwing a lot of heat wrap around them work out? there's even some spray you can get to protect the wrap from any fluids that might drip on em
o and yes...money is obviously tight

Mine Pacestter cost $310 ($275 for the coating, $35 shipping and handling) total to get them Jet-Hot coated (Ca to Az). Very worthwhile, the headers are cool to the touch after about 10 minutes, after a long drive testing out the power of the newly installed headers.
