I just got a cheap pair of ramps a pepboys, felt safer than jackstands, imho. But gave all the room i needed. Depending on your clearance you may need to jack the car up on them, still not a problem.
Please this is just an option if jackstands work for you and everyone else, thats great, my thought was the wheels where holding the car up and less likely to fall.

I've had my header on for about a month now on my 2009 sedan. Love the sound exactly what I wanted. Are any of you with 08+ throwing a cel? I've had mine go on... Anymore info as to how to get around it if possible.

With warmer weather I don't get them as much. I plan on re-coating the headers this summer and warping the cat with header wrap so it won't blow codes next winter. |

loudness of the headers
hey everyone!!
I really want to get a set of the headers for my 07! i live in MA though and the cops are pretty strict about loud exhausts ( my car is red so that def draws more attention to it too haha) I have a SPT catback on my car and it is already kinda loud. I was wondering if anyone has an SPT or a similar 3" exhaust? i am curious if the headers made your exhaust louder decible wise?? i know the UEL rumble is def lower pitch and deeper than the EL but does the headers make your car noticeably louder compared to the EL's with an aftermarket exhaust?? Thanks for your help!!! |

I had just a catback before upgrading to this header. It indeed got louder with the header+catback. A lot of this is the less restrictive, better flowing, high flow cat in the new header.

I just have a magnaflow 2.5' straight through muffler, almost identical to the spt in terms of decibels

This concerns me. Is there anyway to prevent this? I live in an area that is heavily salted at the first hint of snow. I hate to have spent hundreds of extra dollars only for the coating to wear off after a while.

If the coating is properly applied then it wont just flake/corrode off. as it should a seamless coating with no way for salt/water to get under it. It would normally take an impact to chip the coating which could then lead to salt/water intrusion under the coating.
My header is Cerma Krome coated, and has been running without any CEl's or sign of wear since installation in after xmas. The coating is every bit as shinny and intact as the day I opened the box. And as for the coating working? I would be inclined to say yes as all of february was between -20 to -40 degrees Celsius. |

I'm not sure if it was heat based or salt that caused the corrosion. Here's a pic from the top of the engine bay, only looking at the top of the cat. And for reference here's how it looked day one. :::::::: not trying to trash on anyone's workmanship. I always thought it might have been due to salt in Canada or my car being rust proofed somehow? :::::::::::::::: |

Maybe the Satin Black is not as Good as CKC?
I am going with the Cerma Krome Coated for my entire system. I get heavily salted as soon as the sign of snow where I live, I travel 50 miles south into NYC and I do not want anything eating up my expensive exhaust.
THIS IS NOT MY HEADER, MINE IS 4 INTO 1. USING IT JUST AS A SAMPLE. |

has anyone ordered/ received a 4-1 header? or are they still in the prototype stage? if anyone has some I am curious to hear how you like them!!.... im not a huge car guy but what would be the difference between the 4-2-1 and the 4-1? better flow and probably louder right?

I just want to re-iterate how totally awesome it is that you stand behind your work/products so much.

OK, so I just had a long talk with the ceramic coater. First off, he has been doing this for 18 years and is the best around. He definitely knows his stuff. He is the only one the local race engine builders trust to coat their headers and other components.
What happened to the cat section on Sellars21's header is definitely not normal and not to what to expect. The black satin ceramic coating can withstand temps three times hotter than these NA engines will ever produce, and is what the guys that run strictly race-only engines use. He showed me a piece he coated for a local foundry with black satin that gets filled with (then used to pour) molten aluminum over and over again. The black satin is also rated to handle the worst salt/liquid-salt spray conditions for 5000 hours. The Cerma Krome is even better yet at fighting the elements! In the future, all headers that are ordered in black satin will have the cat section (and all the way to the cat pipe flange) coated in cerma krome, cured, then recoated in black satin with the rest of the header. This will give the cat a double dose of protection, just to be safe. Anyone looking to have their header ceramic coated to help avoid a cel should be going with cerma krome, as it has better heat retention properties than the black satin.
