Ceramic Coating..

i was gona put this in the EXH. Forum but Its Deff. a big APPEARANCE improvement.

Did my 1st Set of headers 2day..

They were bought at a swapmeet by a friend of mine. (gary.QUICK_TA/1badl98)

Unknow brand rough shape. Heres a Befor and Durring picture.
The one We did still needs buffed out a little more. You can see in the very last picture they have a little bit of pitting to em. Gona try some diff steps with the other one to over come that. Not to bad for a $30set of headers and a more BSing goin on the coating the part.

I agree. Chris did a real good job considering the shape they were in beforehand. I can't wait to put them on the firebird and see what they look like.

A few people said that now. Either way $30 and a little time spent cleaning them up they look 10x better now.

I agree, they are Edelbrock TES's. I can tell bye the air injection, and the fact that they look identical to the TES's I had for a while (before I sold them).

Edelbrock TES? Interesting.... that sheds some light on my "mystery" headers lol. Anybody know what kind of flow they are rated, and/or HP gains, and last but not least... will they bolt to the factory Y pipe without any major troubles?
