Wayne, Sometimes things actually work out and I feel your pain as I have learned how to use the "Zoom" feature on my iPhone camera so I can read the small print on things.

and I think it looks great.

But it looks good so maybe somebody was watching over me and helped with the color choice.

I shipped my headers to Jet Hot for their 2500 degree coating, I'm doing them in Titanium color. The coating is supposed to be a little rougher than the Ceramicoat but I'll live with it. They got there a week ago last Wednesday so they should be getting close to being done. I can't wait for the E Mail with the tracking number. This is how my wife looks at me when UPS shows up.

That's what I'll eventually put on the turbo kit.

They use jethot 2500 extreme exclusively at my turbo fabricator.

My headers are done and got shipped to the house today. Unfortunately no one home to sign for them. My wife was at work and I'm in Virginia! My grandson got sick and my daughter and her husband needed help , so I flew in last Sunday and stayed the week. He's better now and going back to school Monday so I'm headed home Sunday morning and will get them from UPS warehouse. I can't wait to see them.

My daughter said there was a cars & coffee around here (Suffolk Va.) Anyone know where it is ?

Hope the little guy is feeling better. There is no better help than a grandparents that is for sure. I am thankful to have my parents close to help out when we need it. Can not wait to see those headers!!!

Well I got in last night from my grandson sitting ( too old to say Baby sitting) duties in Virginia. I did some stuff around the house and finnally got to go pick up my headers at UPS. They got in last week while I was away and no one was here to sign for them, so I had them hang on to them so I could get them when I got back.
They went to Jet Hot for thier 2500 degree coating. They look nice I had them do the titanium color. The finish is a lot rougher than the ceramicoat finish. It feels like a 120 or 150 grit sand paper. I like it. I'm not sure how they will be if they need cleaning because of the rough surface. I only had a few minutes so I only got a few pictures of one header. I'll try to get more and better ones tomorrow.





The second 02 bung is to be used by the tuner and will be capped after it's tuned.



This bung is the one that came on the headers and doesn't have any clearance needed to fit the sensor with the 4l85.



The true color is much darker than it showed out in the sun and I like the darker color.
