I figure since they're stainless steel than you could save some money by not getting them coated, am i right? I'm either buying those or the edelbrock TES (coated)

Mods:Hooker Aerochamber 3" exhaust, gutted kitty,
March 2 piece underdrive pullies, smog pump gone,;these two made a very noticable difference.
14x4 K&N open air element filter-the best mod so far
Eibach springs with KYB's all around.
Appearance: Harwood cowl hood, Z-28 wing, painted black(7/20/00)-original color was light blue
*All these mods were made this year
Stock Options:117,000 miles on motor, 5spd, TBI, 305, T-tops
Run a best of 16.7 @85mph with traction problem. Have to try again sometime.

Nope, SLP headers dont need to be coated, and they're much better quality than the Edelbrocks anyway.

Thanks Kev. I'll definitely get the slp's than, but do you know if I can get the 1-5/8" headers with the y-pipe that ends in 3" for the 3" cat?
Yea you can get the 1 5/8 headers with a 3" collector, just finished my install. Coated the slp's and they still get hotter than heck.
remember to get the cat adapter if you are running a cat
