I'm prepping parts for my 3.0 conversion. I've got a nice set of 1 5/8 headers and I'm considering having them coated. Any recommendations? Is it worth it? Seems I've heard some opine that it's not a good idea on air cooled motors. Who's got the voice of experience?
Thanks Attached image(s)

I had mine done by HPC. I am very happy with their work. And as has been mentioned the coating aids in the heat retention, which is a good thing for non-turbo'd cars. This is one reason that from a performance standpoint a mild steel header is better than stainless. They may not last as long, but their thermal properties are better to begin with...
