Craig,

Regarding the change in appearance on the ceramic coated headers. When I was getting ready to purchase mine I asked a good friend of mine, who used to race Trophy Trucks for Ford, how does the finish stand up to time? He told me he has been using this coating for many years on his race trucks and that it does dull some what (just like you guys described). He also said that after it does change it should stay that way and not get any worse. So, I went ahead and purchased them. Personally, I think that besides the anti-corrosion benifit, the lower under hood temp warrants using the coating. I believe that JET-HOT touts that the coating reduces radiated heat by 40%. Anyway, I'm very happy with the coating, even with the extra cost. I would do it again!!!

Hmm...well I'm glad that I'm not the only one with the foggin over problem. They really should notify people of that little side effect in the description of the header, one of the reasons I bought it was for the almost chrome appearance. Oh well, at least it's pretty cool under the hood.
