Kooks Headers Coated
I'm going to get some longtube Kooks Headers and want to know if it's worth getting them coated for an additional $300.

No, not worth it. Save it an put it toward your cam or something else. Kooks are very nice stainless steel so the coating will not make a difference other than maybe a tiny underhood temp decrease

Wasting money.
The stainless that Kooks uses doesn't need a coating.

I heard that stainless steel headers get dull in color after a while.

Save the money, if you're that worried about the heat you can wrap them yourself for $80 bucks or less.

I drive it fairly often...when it is between 50 and 90 degrees.
The heat sucks the power out of the car pretty good...so I try to avoid driving it when it gets real hot.
And Colorado winters suck.
But I have taken several 100+ mile trips with this motor in the car. Hoping to drive it to Texas sometime soon. Drive 800+ miles, pop off a VERY low 11 second pass, drive 800 miles home.
