I probably won't be doing this for awhile but I'm debating on pulling my Hooker 2210's out and getting them sandblasted and dipped in coating. I was wondering if I have to take apart the slip tube connection for this? If so, How would you go about doing this. My headers are showing signs of surface rust after being on the car for about 5 year.

Thanks,

 

Should slide right out. If it doesnt spray some blaster down the joint and twist it out

 

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't unsure if it would've siezed up by now or not.

 

The bad part is they don't just slide out.. I always had to lift the engine to get them in and out...

 

We're talking about the slip connection sliding off the rest of the header. I have to jack my motor up to get them out. Not a big deal really.
