Chris,
On the passenger side there are slip joints....they seem fairly tight, but should I clamp them somehow???
Also, does ceramic coating help or hurt as far a heat goes...the crossover is very close to the bellhousing..
If it is worth doing, is there a company local to us that will blast them and coat them.....how much does that cost?

I don't clamp them. If it pops on deceleration and you don't like it use a little high temp silicone during assembly.\
Ceramic coating on the inside definitely helps. More of the heat stays inside the pipe which improves the exhaust flow a little.
Airborn Coatings is in East Hartford, CT. I think the phone # is 860 528-8281. They will sandblast and coat with an aluminum-ceramic that is shiny when finished. Other companies have a higher temp coating, but it is much more expensive. Price for just the header is around $150 I think.
