Okay so will this exhaust setup work on my car a set of headers and 2 cherry bomb glasspacks? Also what is the best way to paint a set of headers?

need alittle more info...are you using shorty or long tube headers are you following the stock route or doing a custom set up? i have 3" flow master on my car right now with hedman shorty headers and the headman y-pipe fits nice on the car..i would stay away from the cherry bomb they dont last very long and sound like garbage (been there done that will never waste money on them again) and as for paint best way is out of the car with some high heat header paint. I'd spend money on header wrap helps keep the engine bay alittle cooler and looks bad a$$

I'm sticking with the Cherry Bombs I like the sound of them because we run them on our 69 Camaro, the headers are long tubes. Will the high heat rustoleum spray paint work on them? They are currently out of the car.

over time they are gonna sound raspy "civicish" and you will dislike them but its your car do what you want haha. dont think anyone makes a y-pipe for long tubes so looks like you are doing straight pipes? make sure you can tuck it up high enough that you wont be dragging them on the ground,lots of members on TGO have done dual maybe look into some of they're ideas and the high heat rustoleum, is it automotive or for like a fireplace/bbq..if so go to you autoparts store and grab some duplicolor high heat header paint will fade over time just be sure you get a few good coats on there

I used 1200 degree paint on some headers and it instantly burned off.

mine lasted a few months then faded again went with the header wrap and so much more satisfied
