Default Pics of sidepipe combo

Hey,

I have been looking at a chrome header & sidepipe exhaust (Hookers), but I can score a hot deal for some ceramic coated headers. I still like the chrome tubes though.

Anyone have pics or could link me to pics that have ceramic headers and chrome tubes. I got to see how these look together.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

DJ

If you get the chrome headers, they'll turn blue from the heat whereas the Jet Hot coated ones won't. Plus Jet Hot will guarantee them for life if you send new ones to them.

They'll also eventually rust especially if driven in winter around road salt. []

The Jethot ceramic is applied like powderecoat. They make some real hi-temp powdercoats now and if the pipes were ceramic coated to match the headers you could have them clear powdercoated. Then they would match. I think the ceramic looks cool but then again I like nickel plating better chrome as well.

Cheers
