Is this new 2017 OEM factory headers?
I am curious because I thought that OEM header is not painted and so should have bare metal finish.


How much did you pay for it?


This is quite interesting option as I thought I am the only one who cares for the heat sheild. I love heat shield that featured withthe OEM header. I don't want the heat to radiate all over the engine bay and ruin nearby engine components. Also, the heat soak will skyrocket very fast with the bare header during the traffic jam!
