Unless you want to keep the bling, wrap them. Between the coating and a good wrap, you should be able to retain a lot more heat.

Bump: Just get a Jet coating or one like I have, which is good for 2200 degrees.

The coating can withstand that much heat but how much does it radiate?

Yeah, but the foil crinkles. Best try the new "Bling It Insulating Chrome Paint" from AutoZone.

Those SFR headers are pure sex. I soooooo want one of those. Right up there with their full 3" system. That's only what - $3,000? Cripes this car's gonna' bankrupt me.

Let me look at the Blue Book value in the PDR (physician's desk reference), maybe that can help you guys determine the fair market value.

Can you check on the going rate for a left nut while your at it? I have a son on the way already, so I would prefer to hold onto the kidneys as I like the sauce a bit too much to count on both of them going the distance.

Ok, here is the deal. A kidney will get you a SFR Stage 1, that's it. The only thing that will get you a SFR Stage 2 is a heart, and I know you guys need that. Now, regarding a nut? Bad news boys, very bad news. There is a mass surplus of them due to the chicken flu and alot of people dying. Hence, you'll only be able to get a MBC, sorry to break the news guys.

the broadfoot ones look like they are more for higher rpm power...(short runners)
(if i recall correctly)

if the turbo was right at the end of the headers then eqaul length runners also have improved spool time. but since the turbo is across the engine i dont think that would be the reason.
