Nice looking engine bay. The exhaust manifolds make for a nice contrast.

[Kershaw]

GREAT looking engine.

i think they look great. glad you went with jet-hot. i personally would have done them black to match the intake mani, but that's just me. looks great either way.

Finally got around to installing them today:

They look great. You must be pleased.

Yep, completely happy with them. Now I have to stop being lazy and order some new studs/nuts for them. And I'm waiting on that GB for the stromung exhaust to go through, I should be ready to go in a few weeks. Just in time for some nice weather.

Jet hot.

Cost was $165 and turn around time was about 2 weeks from the day I sent them out until the day I got them back.

[Will_318i]

where did you end up getting them done?

[dannyg]

FedEx just dropped off my newly coated manifolds. Now they are all pretty looking!

I would go with ceramic coating or high heat exhaust paint

Buy some proper headers and be done with it. To me it seems like your trying to polish a turd!

What are some proper headers you would recommend? And don't say ebay, because ebay and proper shouldn't be in the same sentence. I emailed jet hot, so we'll see what kind of price they give me.

I've heard about Jet-Hot, but I'm wondering if its worth it. I mean, sure cooler engine bay temps are cool, but if I can get them powder coated locally for almost nothing. I just want something that looks better.

Personally, it was worth it to me. I had them done on my old car and it made the header look WAY better than before. Also, the benefits of it being cooler temps was worth it as well.

[Hey-U]

those sure look pretty but those collectors are crap. stock or ebay?

the only thing worth doing is ceramic. paint is going to flake off, wraps look like shit and tend to fall apart after a couple years, and powder coating obviously wasn't meant for this purpose.
