I'm gonna have my 2 cents worth on Ceramic coated Headers.

I looked into Ceramic Headers through various motorsport companies here in UK and there are a lot of good points and bad points to these (could go on and on, but to cut a long story short!)

Coating Headers does work, but where do you think the Heat that is dispersed travels too, in other words, the heat that is reflected makes other areas around the headers a way lot hotter. Some prefer to wrap the headers, it really depends what car, etc, etc. I will see if I can find the emails I was sent from various companies regarding this (was a long time ago!)

If I was you, I would take a standard set of headers, get them de-burred/polished and go with these.

Since the special is on with EVOMS from Dec 1-8, I'll most likely grab one.. EVO wastegate has already been installed, and that was a good upgrade for the k24s.. I already stored my car for winter, and I don't see the EVO header's price getting any better then the sale price now, so my conclusion is to purchase it now and install it during spring time.. Since I'm at stage 3, might as well do the last upgrade and hit stage 4 before I get to the GT700+, which will not be happening any time soon...

How's lag on your current setup? I have been thinking of trying to fix my lag on my x50 setup.

lag has been improved once I installed the Europipe Stage 2 Loud and the EVO wastegate.. big difference in my opinion!

Let's just say I purchased this car in March of 2006 stock!!.. now I'm going to be completing Stage 4 in only 7 months along with cosmestics and suspension setup! Hooked is an understatement at this point, I think I'm an addict, and if I don't do it, I can't sleep at night!.. haha
