My friend had a set of headers done on his street rod over a year ago and
they still look new. The guy in out area is known in the hotrod and zip car
crowd. He does exhaust, valve covers, turbos, and all kinds of stuff, He
did the manifolds on my 67 Kaiser and they came out nice for the shape they
were in. They were getting rusty and you just cant find them anywhere. He
was able to save them. I am trying to find a used factory Guzzi fishtail
muffler from a single. I am going to make a Y pipe to go where a H pipe
would, so I will have a 2 to 1 system

Admittedly this was back in late 60's and some things have improved
technologically (and some worsened, too) but I had a set of headers
white ceramic coated on my 42 flathead HD. It was without a doubt the
prettiest set of pipes in the world...for exactly one day. That stuff
was porous and any oil or grease (remember it was an older Harley) that
touched the surface was there forever. Do lots of research before you
jump on this train.

I have a old set of original pipes that I am thinking about getting silver ceramic coated. There is a shop here locally and they do some great work on exhaust. The price is not to bad either. When they are done they have a nice satin silver finish on them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Chicoine" <jchic-@mestek.com> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 9:57 AM Subject: Re: Eldo exhaust pipes, stainless or chrome?

I've got SS headers on my V7. It's very noisy compared to a buddy's V7 that has chromed headers. The SS headers are quite a bit thinner than the chromed steel headers. Also stainless doesn't damper noise like steel. I was planning on throwing a set of steel headers on this spring to see if they make a difference. And yes my valves are set to factory spec.'s.
