Coating is a cosmetic thing. If you want headers that fit your car well and do not leak,then go TTI. TTi's website does state if you run the headers on a fresh motor for break in they will get discolored. Had them on a 73 Duster with 360 but motor had some mileson it and no discoloration. Tip: Use Percy's reusable header gaskets they do WORK!!

I have Doug's headers in my car and they look and perform perfectly. They have been on the car now for about 5 years with zero leaks or any fitment issues. The finish has slightly dulled right near the ports and it could probably be polished back to the original shine. I would buy another set in a minute Gus

I read in the 90s when the TTIs came out (had a different name I cant recall! CPPA?) that they were "inspired" by the thick high quality Doug Thorley headers. Both brands are made from real steel-thick steel and not tin made for gutters. But it will cost you alot more to buy them raw- then get them ceramic coated inside and out at a later date. The shipping to and from a coater alone will floor you. I bought raw Thorley headers for my 360 Demon. Bought them that way JUST in case I have to ding them for clearance.But after pricing coating and seeing the high cost I will just paint them myself after verification they fit and engine has been sorted with a different set of cheap headers. Actually Ill probable try the Eastwood ceramic coating DIYer kit.

I bought my raw Dougs thru Advance Auto with the 20% off. HOWEVER the savings was capped at $50. Still an OK deal but a seller on ebay had same price as Advanced Autos discounted price with free shipping.

Autozone, not advanced auto... Winter20 is a good code right now. That price for the COATED Dougs header is AMAZING.

Anyone have pictures of how the dougs look and fit in a duster? Not a Duster but here's my headers after about one year and another at speed I have never cleaned them since I installed them over 5 years ago. Packaging is very nice and would stay put during shipping.I just picked mine up at Summit near my house. Gus
