Alright I have the oppurtunity to buy a set of used Cattman Gen 1 Headers for cheaper then the new Gen 3's....now supposedly the Gen 1's are supposed to be the best but I have heard some good stuff on the Gen 3's, so I was also thinking about buying a set of brand new Gen 3's for a little more so what do you guys think I should do?

 

I don't think there is a huge difference between the 3. So if you can get one cheaper, go ahead. Just make sure to coat them to prevent rust

 

What do you mean??? Like powder coat them?

 

yea the gen 1 headers require alot of upkeep, I can't remember what you have to do, but you might want to search and look it up

 

High temp engine paint?

 

Hi Temp paint will burn off in a few days. You need something like Jet-Hot coating inside and out of the header.

This will explain it: http://www.jet-hot.com/techinfo.html

 

Even engine block enamel?

 

I have the gen 1's and live where they use salt on roads and have no problems. You have to clean them once and a while to keep the finish looking good. I do it after every winter. This is the spray that you would have gotten if you bought them new through Cattman. It's the HiPerWash.
