Going to install some coated elite headers tomorrow on a 440 Charger. Usually I scratch the headers up when installing but don't want to ruin the ceramic coating. I will try to install them with the bags on that they came in. Any advice?

Thanks!

I didn't think about tape, I'll get the blue painter type.

Thanks

One layer of blue tape so it will be easy to remove when the time comes, then a layer of duct tape for heavy duty protection..
