What amount of Powder Coat?

[sciroccojunky at gmail.com (Lance LaPrarie)]

Headers reach about 1200 degrees or more so, over the 1000 degree's it shows
on the description. Engines are cooled by oil and coolant. Headers aren't.
Try it out see if it works. Taking headers on and off is kind of a pain
though. Nice nuckle skinner job for sure.

Send pics sure like to see what it looks like.
