Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

QC coating screwed up a few parts of my dads when they were sandblasting them but that can easily be blamed on a inexperience worker. I have not delt with them personally but I hear good things about them.
I don't see how ceramic coatings will protect the inside of the tubes as coating is sprayed on. Myself I would have to debate what the cost of another header in 4 years vs R&R the current one plus $ and to be without the car for a few days.
A quote about storing cermanic coated parts...
"Then coat the headers with WD-40 or an equivalent where the tubes are welded to the header flanges and where the tubes come in close proximity to each other (Especially where the four tubes enter into the collector). These areas are prone to rusting as the coating is unable to get between the tubes in the unexposed areas of the header. If rust occurs, it will travel into and under the coating and create a stain."
edit my bad, I thought you already had a headerinstalled.

Just out of curiousity-why don't you just buy a stainless header? LS1 stainless headers can be had for around 200 on ebay, I can't imagine a cobalt header would be even close to that? Instead of all this hassle it seems like going with a nice stainless one that will last forever would be a better option-not to mention cheaper? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-10...ht_2786wt_1165

Because of the deal I got on this - and generally those headers are pure shit. A lot of guys have fitment issues with those.
I'm leaning towards just POR-20ing it, because no matter if it's ceramic coated or painted, it's gonna rust eventually...and going with a stainless long tube in a few years.

Now, I wonder if an 8 oz will cover the header (I'm going to have it sandblasted), probably will do one coat since I don't have access to an over to bake it, think that sounds about right?
How much did you get, Jeff?
