Finally got 'em. Look nice. Will post pics tomorrow. Contemplating ceramic coating them, but not sure. Decisions, decisions...

Coat them, you'll be glad you did.

Coat them, stainless lets as much heat thru as mild steel. It will bake your underhood components if you are lucky, melt stuff or even set fires if you are unlucky.

Dropped them off for silver ceramic coating today. Should be ready in a couple of weeks. Kinda slow due to holidays. Reviewing other folks' installation notes to see about other needed items such as locking header bolts, collector gaskets, starter heat shields, etc.

almost every detail of my installation of the Kook's headers in that thread I started in this same forum titled "My Dyno Results". Perhaps you've already read that, but if not, then check it out. Especially the part about the dipstick tube. Pay attention to that, because TooManyFords broke the dipstick tube on his Marauder during the installation of the Kook's headers, and I can see why.
