Ceramic-coated carbon steel with HPC HiPerCoat on the manifolds and HiPerCoat Extreme on the downpipe - meaning more horsepower, lower engine bay temperatures, and a 3-year corrosion warranty from HPC USA.

If anything was to "burn off" first, it would be the hottest part of the exhaust, which is the headers.

I am replacing the motor with one from a 97 max. 74K miles, which is less miles than the car had when I bought it.
No changes to the motor, just gonna do the headers while the it's out of the car.

Yhea, I got the auto motor. I've had the thing for over a week now. Just waiting on the guy to install it for me. With everyday that passes I just want to do it myself. It's a time issue more than anything as to why I am not doing it myself. I also don't feel 100% sure of my abilities to do it myself and there is no local max owner who I know that has done a motor swap who could help.
I better see some 100mph traps. When I hit the track this fall I will have installed the headers, PF TB, and cat-back since the last time out. I will also have drag radials (sold my slicks). I am shooting for 13.7-13.8 @ 101ish

What does suck is that I just replaced my water pump on my old motor two months ago.

i envy you. I want headers. but I plan on doing a motor this winter. I should hopefully be buying with about 80k on it soon.
Can't wait for the motor to get back in so we can see the I30 run some 13's n/a.
