the pacesetters came in today by UPS, still waiting for the cam from Fed Ex. The contruction is pretty good on these, they felt pretty solid. IT DID COME WITH HEADER BOLTS. I can see why the gaskets blow out easily, since they're pretty much thick paper. Im gonna sand blast the paint off of them and use some silver header paint, and weld the 2 Y pipe pieces together instead of the crappy clamp that is supplied.

 

watch out most of thos ebrand sof hi temp paint that u get at the auto parts store are worthless.just about ever set of headers i have painted had the paint burn off within a few days.the best paint i have found for painting headers is at home depot.its hi temp grill paint.i painted a set of headers over 1.5 years ago with it and the paint is still on the headers

 

Hey cool, I didn't know that about grill paint. The Home Depot Speed Shop always amazes me!

 

You should check out Eastwood Company: Auto Tools, Body Repair, Classic Car Restoration, House of Kolor Paint, Powder Coating . They sell header pait and coatings. Ive used them before and was very happy with the results

 

is duplicolor a good paint?

 

NOT for headers.
Either get grill paint, or get VHT BRAND NAME paint.

 

The Duplicolor 1300*F paint is good stuff. I painted a pair of headers and it looked like I had just done it, over 1 year later when I pulled them off to make way for larger headers. It is like $5-$7 a can though. The headers were on my G20 which see's some trailer pulling duty. If it was going to burn off on anybodies headers, it would be these.
