well I live in Socal so they've seen some desert dust and mud, some rain, some other mud, etc. I am by no means gentle with my YJ either so I would definitely say I have put the headers thru their paces. admitedly the coating wasn't my main concern. the Jeep 4.0L is notorious for cracked exhaust manifolds and headers. so to me the most important thing is that there is absolutely no sign of cracking at all thus far. the fact that the coating still looks good is an added bonus

 

Thanks. Actually, I had found that article while searching for info before posting anything here. I found it helpful. Glad to know it was someone from here.

 

nice to hear some positive feedback on my article. I do freelance writing for them from time to time. they actually offered me a full time gig but i didn't want to move up to LA. The rain is supposed to let up tomorow so I will try to get that current pic of my headers condition up for you guys.
