Looking forward to hearing all about them.
I keep this in mind there has been issues about every brand out there, fitment, flanges, ect.
Get them coated!

Coated?? For heat purposes maybe? I was thinking about some header wrap. I'm not really worried about discoloration the ones on my zO6 still look pretty good.

Ceramic coating is the way id go, But wrap away! I have read the metal can split because of the overlap of material.
On my 92 the ceramic coated watsons (which were great BTW) really heated things up, I couldn't imagine uncoated.

I agree, wrapping is not the way to go. If flammable fluid spills on it, you are in trouble.

They split if you don't wrap properly or overwrap properly I should say because the metal gets different temps etc.

I have coated SW headers, look great 3 years later
& sure they are cooler, in PHX AZ that matters

I was looking to put headers on my 91 soon. I just got an email for the seller. Those are resonators, not cats. We have a road side drive by emissions test in Colorado. You think it would pass with out the cats? If we miss a drive by we need to do the std emission test. Those resonators would surly pass the visual test as a cat, but not sure if a sniffer would pick it up.
