Not suppose to, but we will have to see after some miles on them.

nice but did they coat the inside? if so you have a problem .. do not put them on you will damage your turbos... as it peels eventually it will fall right into the turbo...

I did the same thing many years ago... I took it back and sandblasted it out from the inside.

Just curious, why did you choose powder coating versus ceramic coating?

No Coating on inside. I made sure of that before I dropped them off.

Cost me $100 btw

Figured it wasn't worth spending the extra cost of shipping them out to Jet-Hot and how much they charge for Ceramic would be more than what I paid for the headers. Also If I decided to go bigger badder later, I would pay for it again anyways. I.e EVOMS or others.

Gotcha...makes sense. When/If you upgrade, let me know and we'll hook you up with the ceramic coating.

Besides looking good, the ceramic coating also has performance benefits.
