Currently I am running a SB400 with a set of dynomax headers. THe headers have turned many different colors through out their life, and I was curious as to what type of headers everyone is using. I'm planning on lowering the truck, not drastically, to give it a better appearance. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Later!

My son went with Hedman Elites for his Blazer, and the coating went away in 6 months. I've been told that a lot of header companys put light coatings on, and this doesn't last long. I bought the regular Hedmans and had them Jet-Hot coated...Much more money, but lifetime warranty......

I bought Headman Torque-Stepsand had them triple-coated with ceramic(flat black/silver/flat black)locally.It cost $200.The thing they do(coaters)is media blast first.That makes the bond permanent.Years ago(over 20)I sandblasted some headers and painted them with VHT.It stayed on for years,until headers went south.There are 3/4 length headers for low trucks.ECE sells them,not cheap.I`ve always used long tubes and I`m careful.Headers aren`t the only thing you don`t want bottoming.A low truck(within reason)is no lower than most cars.

Headers
I went with Sanderson ceramic coated headers on my 68 C-10. They work great and no gaskets to leak, all you use is Black Hi - Temp RTV.

I have headman 68600 chevelle shorty's. I wanted them over the Sandersons/ECE because the Sandersons have samll 2 1/2" collectors and 1 1/2" primarys the Headmans have 3" collector and 1 5/8" primarys. You need to use Northwest Auto Fabs mmotor mount to clear the motor mount. They NWAf Mounts will move your motor to the 6 cly position. I am really not a big fan of the ball flange yet it's tough getting the ball flange onto 3" I had to do it by hand with pliers I grinded to shape and a ball pean hammmer.
