Recommendations - Header coating Co. - Page 2

Most companies can do both, outside and inside. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble and money to just do the outside. Not only does the inner coating protect it from the inside, it doubles the insulating properties of the coating. Besides, eventually, rust on the inside can be detrimental to exhaust flow.
I had Nitroplate do a set a few years ago and am happy with their product and service.

I like Central Connecticut Coatings,(formerly AirBorn) they support the ASRA stk/ss assoc. and their quality is great.

Nitroplate is the one, you will not regret it, greatest bunch of guys in the world to work with!

Thanks everyone. I'm really trying to do business with companies that (a) are local to me and (2) support the things I believe in. I'll look into both Nitroplate and Airborne.

Thanks again,

Nitro-plate is the only way to go. Excellent product with a quick turn-around. Had headers coated for both cars, several years ago and they still look new. They also did custom "ghost" flames on the collectors for my dragster.

Nitroplate without a doubt! Chris is absolute tops in customer service and Mike who owns the company is a sportsman racer too. Best product/service you'll find anywhere!

I really appreciate everyone's input on the subject. I checked out several Co's and completely understand why several of you speak highly of Co's like Nitroplate, etc. In particular, I like the fact that some companies are run by fellow racers.

After speaking with the people at Central Connecticut Coatings, I went with them. I live in the Northeast and the fact that this Co. supports the All-Star Racing Association sealed the deal. The gentleman I spoke with also had obvious knowledge of Division One races and was very excited about his product.

Thanks again, and hope to see y'all at the races soon.
