Or you could have sent them to NitroPlate. They not only have an outstanding product, and great customer service, they also support class racing. In an era where less companies are really supporting class racing, I'd go out of my way to support those who support us, but thats just me

When I post something about a good experience & product (torque plate I posted about recently as an example) along with an easy reference website, it gets deleted by the admin.

Here's my .02. Like everyone else, I had to buy new headers every five years or so due to rust. I got them coated every other year to try to keep them in good shape. By the time I took my mild steel custom headers ($800.00) and had them coated twice over the course of their lifetime, I realized I could have bought a set of stainless headers and be done with it. I've run the same set of stainless headers the last 5 years or so and they still look like new and do not need coating at all. To soften the initial hit, I just bought a set of custom stainless headers, less collectors, and used my mild steel headers for a season. The following year, I purchased a set of stainless collectors.
