#70144, "Headers changed color.....???????"




          

So i juss recently installed my headers and my race cat (which my car sounds so much sexier) but anywayz my headers were originally "chrome" but by the time i got home from the shop they were a gold/brass color???? also, RIGHT when i started up my car the headers started smoking, i guess the coatin burned off???? none the less the "NEW" color looks good too =o)

Welcome to the world of Chrome/stainless headers. The only header that I have see not change color is Ceramic coated headers. But then again, I have seen a ceramic turn ugly, but that is because some idiot touched with a greasy finger and it burned into it. Good thing it was not my car.

I have an Antique Superbee that i got my geasy paws on the ceramic header when i changed out the Valve seals and the grease did not burn into that ceramic coating. never seen that before and i have done it.
