Stainless Power headers installed! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

After a fair amount of research, I pulled the trigger on SP headers. It took some doing (most likely because of my amateur level of wrenching) but with help from a friend, the two of us did the job!

Biggest setback was using basic tools. I would have killed for an air ratchet! We did the job in about 4 hours in my garage on jack stands. The headers sound great! Now I just need to get it tuned.

Special thanks to DynoSteve for the great price!

Wondering the same.............................that is my only regret, I was in too much of a hurry to get mine installed I did not get them coated.

After another look I don't think they are coated.

They don't look coated. They look just like mine when I got them in.

Did you have yours coated or just put them on as is?

If they were coated you wouldnt see the burn marks from the welds near the bottom.

No, I've never had any of my headers coated. Nice thing about SW and SP is they use good quality materials. No color change like lower grade SS. Never really worried about the heat. If I was to go FI it would be a different story.
