Headers, Coatings/Wrap, and Heat Soak
I’m trying to reduce under hood temps for my ‘94 stroker and am considering buying a header and having it ceramic coated by Jet Hot. For the price of the coating, I want to make sure I get a header that won’t crack. I was leaning towards the Banks Torque Tube revolver style header, but I’m reading that even it has cracking issues. Is there a header for our engines that’s worth coating and won’t crack? Should I just stick with my generic manifold with expansion joints, wrap it, and plan on replacing it every few years when it rots out?

Re: Headers, Coatings/Wrap, and Heat Soak
I'm also wondering the same thing. I have an Edelbrock's head and believe the expansion issue may be more prevalent. I would also think coating the bottom of the intake may also have so advantage.
