Cool. A bit of research reading for me!

coatings reduce life of headers/exhaust as i assume after coatings you'ld get molten temps?

also what sort of ball-park figure are we looking at for headers/exhaust.ect

thanks.

Competition & Industrial Coatings apparently have a wait list...

Iv heard of a place called Bullet Racing & Engineering but cant find a valid number

Most vf34 setups @ 20psi tuned see around the high 190-200 kw aw (roller dyno) - I acheived 210 on a conservative tune... mind you - I have ported my stock headers - and have made a custom cross pipe which allows for more top end.... as the stock cross pipe is the only real major restriction on the stock headers.

By cross pipe do you mean up pipe to the turbo???
if so is there aftermarket up pipes available that gets rid of the stock heat shielding??

no i mean the pipe thats in the middle of both headers.

There are up-pipes avaibale that have no heat shield (aftermarket).. but why would u do wanna do that?

Got a prob with clearance with the stock heat shielding hitting the steering knuckle.
