question about headers LT - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

mydreamcar · 06-13-2011, 06:42 PM

I am considering going with some BBK LT's. As much as I would like to go with ARH, the cost is just too much. I do not want to make a debate on which is better.

My question is which do I go with, Chrome, ceramic covered, or 304 stainless steel. My car is not my DD but I want something that will hold up to rust and the northeast weather, salt,snow, rain etc. I am inclined to believe that 304 stainless steel is the best choice. Also should I wrap them for greater heat protection and lastly since I have the solo HFC, am I removing them with LT or do the LT bolt up to them. Once again I think I know the answer which is I am removing the solo HFC.

Thanks

If you want something that will stand up to rust go with the stainless steel. Then get them ceramic coated to deal with the heat if its an issue.

What might be the cost of ceramic coating? I been thinking of getting stainless steel headers too.

I'd say 150-200 for a good coating.

Thanks i figured as much to go with SS. What is the difference between a wrap and jet coated though besides cost and I assume lower temps.

Also do i ditch the solo HFC as I think the headers come with them??
