I do have a question about the headers with the heat tape on them. Were they chromed or stainless steel?[/QUOTE]
The Speed Engineering headers are 304 Stainless. The wrap isn't a tape but just a wrap made by DEI. They make it from different materials depending what you want.
Here's my video on keeping the ends from fraying. DEI Titanium
