    A couple of header questions

    Has anyone heard of Motavator Headers?

    What are your recommendations for painting used headers?

    Thanks

      If its not to much to have It done,take It to a powder coater and have it ceramic coated inside and out,will last forever!

        if ya lived near MN a guy i work with does powdercoating and can do ceramic coatings.

        he generally as a rule only does wheels/parts for vw's, but with work as slow as it is im sure his side business could use some extra fundage

          Even ceramic coating has a limited life span, I have had headers done by a couple shops and even the high dollar stuff doesnt last forever. The only real long lasting choice is to build the exhaust out of stainless

          No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

            I just got the header today from 1967cutlass on ClubProtege. They are Motavator brand and I haven't been able to find anything about them! They're a 4-2-1 style header with the O2 bung and came with a welded on flex section. I plan to install it when I've finished my cylinder head project.
