That's why when I found a deal locally on a pair of clean used Gibson shorty headers I grabbed them. I think I paid $150 for the pair. Then the hot ceramic coating was maybe $125. I didn't have the time to install them so I paid a local shop to do the work, I provided the headers/gaskets/mounting hardware. So all total I spent a good amount. But the exhaust issues were gone and none since doing it right way back 30,000 miles back.
