Default Sidepipe/Header looks...

When I save enough free $$$ I am going to get some Hookers. I see tat Summit offers a) Coated, 2) Chrome, or 3) Stainless Steel.

To those of you that have the coated ones, do these look "polished"?

I plan on getting Polished wheels and want them to match, plus they are a little cheaper than the Chrome ones.

u don't want to buy your coated headers from summit, they are prone to rusting, u want to buy them from JetHot in the sterling finish which comes w/an excellent warranty unlike summit. also jethot has better prices.

bought these 4 months ago from JetHot, Sweet

Wow...if they have better prices and better quality, then its a done deal! Thanks!

Yours look really nice! Do you think they look "polished" or can they be?
