ive got some after market side pipes, and i was looking at them today and saw that the rocks ect that hav been flipped up from the front tires are hitting my headers, what should i do? the headersa are ceramic coated black, so its kind of apparent when it happens

Aside from getting two pair of Yosemite Sam mud flaps and rivetting them on (Bubba would probably do it for a 6'er)

I would probably research high tempature clear coats...

Anyone done this???
