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.

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...

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 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.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

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.

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)
