Cool Ty, glad you are getting some use out of them. They have about an hour of run time on them.

Pypes system?
Formula8,
What Pypes system did you put on your 71? What muffler(s) did you use? Would you do anything different? I'm looking at a new exhaust to put behind those headers you gave me... (c:] V/R, Ty

"Paint headers black" is not one of the choices but if it was, that's what I'd choose. I was told by someone at Summit that the factory black is only a coating to prevent rust during storage.

I ended up media blasting the old factory paint off of mine (box got wet & all the paint bubbled) & painted using POR-15 high temp paint (the cast iron colored stuff). Seems to be holding up well.

I've got that same set of headers. I'm planning to blast and paint mine too.
I was wondering about the Eastwood and POR manifold paints. Do they require baking/curing to get the heat resistance up? I know that if you don't read the small print, you'd never know that some of the high temp paints don't really work without curing for an hour or so at 300~400 degrees F. It's kinda hard to bake a set of headers in the kitchen oven.

They will be "re"painted...
The headers will get blasted and then "re"painted either black or silver...

Get VHT header paint. I used the silver and it wont burn off. Actually it was the aluminum color and it looks really nice.
