Default Ceramic Headers.....Please Advise.......

Will they help cut down my cockpit temps? They will be hooked to chambered pipes. Any advice on the best ones? Thanx in advance.

I have the Hooker Super Comps on my 454, I can't say for sure if they would keep the cockpit temps down, I would think they would. They definately keep the underhood temp down.

$600.00 cheaper? I only paid $385.00 for my ceramic coated hooker super comp headers. :confused: :confused:

I have Hooker Super Comp Ceramic/Black Coated Headers on my ZZ4, and it does cut down on heat inside the engine compartment. But inside the cockpit, I don't notice a change because of my headers. I did however have my dual exhaust system ceramic/black coated completely, and that did help.

Factory ceramic coatings usually stink.....The coating on my Hookers lasted about 8 weeks! Coating should be both inside and out........

What kind of industries do ceramic coating? It would be nice to do it now, when the engine is out...

I had Airborn Coatings do mine. They are ceramic coated inside and out on the complete exhaust system.
