Sort of a continuation from the previous thread about the eurorace header.
The header I have is used, but in decent shape. It needs a bead blasting and either a coating, or paint for sure. I have read that people sometimes wrap their header to keep temps lower. IIRC, wrapping also traps moisture, which isn't good either. I've seen some of those jet-hot coated headers and they look nice. I prefer flat grey, over the shiny finish, but I think they handle that. Which option lowers heat more? If I paint, what temp range paint do I need? Where can I get the insulation wrap stuff? Any other advice/experience is appreciated. Thanks! |
