Hedman headers? I purchased a set on Ebay, and wanted the forums opinions before taking the effort to put them in.

Secondly, should i have them coated first, as they are not now?

I also bought Hedman but I bought them from Jet-Hot so they are already coated. I feel Hedman's will do just fine for a non race application. I got mine to try for a tad more hp and better gas mileage. I would imagine if you are going to seriously race the car then a set of TPIS , Lingenfelter, Exotic Muscle etc. would be a better bet. Sorry, I don't have mine on yet, they're a winter project.

Many members run Hedman and are happy with them. They'll all agree, I think, that you should have them coated (inside and out).

I have a pair of coated Hedmans sitting in my garage waiting for an install...

I bought my Hedman HTC coated headers from www.jegs.com and couldn't be happier. These are cool or slighty more than warm to the touch in an hour. The fit and finish is mighty fine and for $335 I couldn't beat the price. You'll be happy with them!
