Looks great! Beautiful!

They did mine well over 10 years ago, and there is just a faint trace of rust showing now. No complaints whatsoever.

Next time I might also try GT in Ortonville (just to see how they do), I can't find anyone locally who has used them but have been way out of the loop for a long time.

He just did my Challenger as well as my racecar (5 years and counting). It doesn't get any better.

Nice looking set of headers Mike. I would use QC again no problem. Been using a place in Saginaw for same price. QC is way better. Never heard of GT. I drove thru Ortonville to get to QC.

I hit them up to strip and re-coat my TTI's and it was super fair...now just to pull them off and drive them up there...

I just had them do some some small block B1 headers and they did a great job and quick turn around.

I would recommend them to anyone. They do get power coat work as well. Very impressive.

Question for you guys. Getting ready to order a set of TTI's so would I be better to skip the tti coating, order the plain ones and bring them over to QC and let them do their thing?

This would depend on IF you need to make any
changes to the tubes to fit the car.. if not
then I would probably just use the TTI as is..
they seem to hold up well

I would have QC do them. The tti coating is just an inexpensive coating. If your breaking in a cam get them plain and have QC do the coating later. Ask me how i know.

I would say the same, get the headers uncoated , see how they fit , adjust as needed. The biggest thing I have found is the headers fit but how do you get them in without scratching them all up. test fitting will avoid the scrapes. As stated above if a new engine then remove and get them coated.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I agree with this thinking, and thats how I am doing my new hedman fenderwell headers and it ended up I had to change a tube so that would of been money down the crapper, goung to run them this year and send them out for coating this winter.

I dont know what TTI charges to coat theirs but
the ones I seen looked pretty good.. are they
as good as QC.. I doubt it.. QC does this for
a living and TTI makes headers.. if you want
to sent them to QC I know they would be better
but at what cost from what TTI sells them for..
I've never bought a TTI header because they dont
make what I need.. and I make my own stuff

Excessive exhaust heat to headers is the greatest enemy of a nice ceramic coating job.

Almost impossible to control over a period of time. A misfiring spark plug or a cam breakin can do it, among other reasons including age. My TTI's which started out very nice, dulled down to dark grey, had them recoated at Caps in Fresno,,,,ok for awhile, now grey again. Something like about 1,500 hundred degrees F will do it,,,,check it out on google.

Thats what happened to my tti headers. Broke a cam in with them and it turned the coating dark at the first bends. I will find out how good the QC coating is as im breaking in a cam with them too. Maybe i could run it 15mins shut it down and run it another 15?

Number one thing is get the timing up where it
should be.. full of water and put a big fan in
front till you get the cam broke in.. if the
timing is retarded it will burn in the tubes
and thats more heat on the header.. the first
tangent point is always a problem point.. but
is the cyl temp isnt to hot then there isnt too
much of a problem.. also the black coated headers
dont show it anywhere near as bad
EDIT
Also... if you dont know the carb dont use it..
see is you can find a buddy with a known good
carb.. it can even be small since your only gonna
run a couple thousand rpm.. most know now days
that a stock carb WILL run fat.. dont run fat..
that hurts a few things(washes the rings and turns
headers blue)
