So then what are some of the best coatings? Everybody claims they are the best, the original. And the industry leader.


For me, there is no glide in pulse and glide :p

I called around and found a shop that will ceramic coat my header inside and out for $150.
Should I be concerned about voiding the header warranty and get it coated/

I'm not trying to be the ass, but you did buy a $300 header. I would "assume" that you accounted for possible failures.

IMHO... they're crazy if they say wrap wouldn't void, but coating would. That alone tells me good luck on getting warranty anyway. I'm assuming you've made sure it fits, right?

I haven't had a chance to check anything yet. Been to busy getting ready for a road trip in the motorhome. I'll be gone for a couple of weeks then check it out and get back to the car.
At 1st glance the header looks very nice, good welds, looks like a quality piece to me but it is the 1st FRS Header I have ever saw so have nothing to compare it to.
