Headers on a road course
Any one besides me usingheaders on a road course? Nothing melted, everything was fine. ARH coated headers, after a coating issue, which was handled with no issues by RPD Motorsport, I now have non coated headers. Going to do a track day on Saturday, and just wondering if anyone other than me was using headers.

If you're running a remote clutch bleeder, make sure it's secured well away from them. The third owner of my Z06 had an underhood fire at the track because the remote bleeder ended up against the header somehow. It melted through and spewed clutch fluid all over the place. They were ceramic coated.

The cats and mufflers are what restrict the sound on these. If oem is a zero headers take it to a 1, aftermarket cat back takes it to a 5 and aftermarket cat back with cat deletes takes it to a ten.
