Re: ceramic coating for headers

[Curt Cleavinger <curt_cleavinger@domain.elided>]

I had the Travelall headers coated by HPC in Salt Lake City
(800 456-HPC1). Cost to coat the pair was $220. I don't know yet 
about how much the coating helps the heat issue 'cause the exhaust 
is being installed today (sure was a loud trip to the exhaust place
with open headers!). I ordered a set of tri-Y headers for the Scout, 
and had GiddemUp send them directly to HPC.
