</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">$450 to recoat the steel headers or vs $3,800 for stainless steel which is gonna blue on me…yea thanks for reminding me!</p>

Here’s a followup on Ron McCalls SS headers. <br>
410-596-3170 and Bob Benson just ordered a set for his Pantera. BEAUTIFUL!!!<br>
<br>
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
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🇺🇸</span> sourced material so he is not inspecting any new tariff material increases.
<br>
<br>
I have one question for you motorhead engineers. ..<br>
<br>
Do you see merit in having the headers ceremic coating ‘inside’ ???<br>
to increase longevity, reduce heat and I ask this because my BORLA taillpipes on my 180’s got hot enough to stain one side.<br>
<br>
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
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😂🤣</span><br>
<br>
Yea how time flys!!<br>
