so not a "bolt-on", but a cut and clamp / minor fab. Headers are not a bolt on either, AFAIK all require cut and clamp to OEM system. All require special pipes from the header to whatever...

why does one seat have a scratch and the other has a few dings from the grinder collet? A scratch is a perfect place for the seat to start burning away.

modern powder seats are super strong. IMO this is all caused by valve bounce.
The exhaust valve seat is subject to a lot of heat which can cause burned valves / seats

IMO most failure is caused by bounce. Even a twin spring has harmonics that lead to very low spring pressure. Hence the evolution to a conical spring, as it tends to absorb the harmonic within the...
