Header wrap works good. Out of sight, out of mind.

Probably need to sandblast them and send them off for coating.

Ill look into the sandblasting. They just need to be jet coated again right? or could they just be painted?

Coated again? I didn't think coated headers would rust. Gow long are the headers? I can see if they will fit in my dad's sandblast chamber.

Could I just hand sand them and paint over them? The headers are BBKs longtubes and are on a 98 Cobra motor btw.

Ryan , i will be taking my headers and other things for my car to my work this week to sandblast . If you want u can meet me there and ill let you use the booth if you would like. The booth is big enough for the headers if not you can suit up in the white one peice and helmet and have at it in our sand blasting pit . Give me a shout. 431 3707 . Jason

just send them off to get Jet Hot Coated they will need to prep them before coating them anyway. BBK headers don't come with a decent coating on them and Painting won't last that long anyway...
