Default Where to get headers coated

Looking into a set of 1 3/4 long tubes for my 2010 GS, I'm in western New England. Does anyone know of a good place to get headers coated or had good experiences shipping them to somewhere? What did it cost to have them done with shipping?

just recently found out they're local to me. I believe you have to contact them direct for pricing.

Nitro Plate is also a good place to look think about. They are family owned and are old school drag racers. Good people all around.

There are several shops out here that do excellent quality work for about half of what Jethot charges but the shipping might be a hassle.
Here's one for anyone on the left coast: http://www.embeeperformance.com/proc...p_coating.html

FYI: Unless you are really concerned with aesthetics of the underneath of your car...I would save the money by only coating just the headers (excluding x-pipe etc) since the headers are the only pieces in the engine bay.

Given the cabin tunnel heat issues in the C6, I'd do x-pipe too.

google " coatings" "ceramic coatings" and "industrial coatings" with your area entered in as well.

Youd be surprised how many industrial coating companies do small stuff for car owners
