Per the shop that put my stainless headers on my Pantera (Lance Nist's) per Lance my Pantera was used for the model by Borla Exhaust for their exhaust system. LaurieSent from my Galaxy

Was  told  while the bling is gone its still functional. For me its gonna be an easy cost analysis decision…$450 to recoat the steel headers or vs $3,800 for stainless steel which is gonna blue on me…yea thanks for reminding me!HahaSent from my iPhoneOn Mar 6, 2025, at 6:29 PM, David Carpenter via TPR <tpr at teampanteraracing.com> wrote:

I think coatings are sprayed on mostly.  Then baked.  Thus only exterior.  At least what I beleive.

It’s difficult to coat the insides and I don’t believe there is much if any additional efficiency.


The mufflers are -going- to discolor based on your use-case.  I can’t recall anybody coating mufflers either.


Be happy, it’s a mark of a man who uses the car as intended….. drives it!  and drives it fast.

Here’s a followup on Ron McCalls SS headers. 
410-596-3170 and Bob Benson just ordered a set for his Pantera. BEAUTIFUL!!!

He can build Windsor or Cleveland and the cost is $3,800 + shipping (+|- $250 to left coast). He’s working with a known fabricator now as demand is great  but you should still figure 10-12 weeks currently.  All American 🇺🇸 sourced material so  he is
 not inspecting any new tariff material increases. 

I have one question for you motorhead engineers. ..

Do you see merit in having the headers ceremic coating ‘inside’ ???
to increase longevity, reduce heat and I ask this because my BORLA taillpipes on my 180’s got hot enough to stain one side.

Appreciate your feedback. For me this year I am just gonna refinish my existing 180’s with new ceremic coating as its been on for 8 years and it no longer is shiny and you know MD Loves his bling 😂🤣

Yea how time flys!!
