Hopefully Mr. Forman can work his magic on these!

i'm sure he can.

BBK's "ceramic coating" is almost a joke. mine are starting to do this same thing.

[thunderbolt64]

I have my fingers crossed!

[ChrisJ]

i'm sure he can.

Agreed...

They have done the same shit on my car too...

[thunderbolt64]

That sucks as much as you have to pay for the coating. Oh well, live & learn!

every (coated) bbk hedder i've ever seen is a fucking joke

damn the flanges look expired they must have some wall erosion id get a thickness check b4 id coat em

[thunderbolt64]

Are you talking about the collector flanges?

[HAVIK]

No. Where the welds are and the long tubes meeT

[thunderbolt64]

The collector?

[HAVIK]

Yep

[thunderbolt64]

I think they'll be ok.

[nogomoto]

Eh, I've done worse. They'll clean up. He should be able to take care of 'em.

[thunderbolt64]

Dropped off headers today. Hope to have them back next week.

[JHForman]

should be doing these thursday/friday and meeting up with ya before I head off to school.

[thunderbolt64]

any pics of the parts after blasting before the coating?

[JHForman]

havent picked them up from being blasted yet.

[Dave_ftw]

I have heard horror stories about the coating on BBK also... Might as well buy them bitches regular and have it ceramic coated elsewhere...

good lookin headers though.

[thunderbolt64]

I went back and checked. I only paid $340 for them, so it wasn't as bad as I thought. Looking forward to getting them back!

[Dave_ftw]

how much to have them ceramic coated?

[thunderbolt64]

Waiting on some sandblasted pics ............... hopefully next week, I will have these back.

[Dave_ftw]

I meant how much does he charge to ceramic coat the headers if you bring them to him?

[thunderbolt64]

I will tell you the price when I get them back, or you can pm him for a price.

[JHForman]

Call me when you are free, they are done. I had some car issues that caused me a backup.

[thunderbolt64]

Woo Hoo! Headers are done!

[tim's slow5.0]

Post pictures

[thunderbolt64]

I will, when I pick them up





































tomorrow!

[thunderbolt64]

Got the headers back and they look good, but there are some flaws. The vendor called me & wants to redo them........no charge! Very upstanding kinda guy. Some of the pitting in the pipes will always be there, but they're not rusty any more.

[kabalar]

good stuff

[thunderbolt64]

Yeah, they don't look bad, but Mr. Forman wants to make them look better.

[tim's slow5.0]

They look great! What color is that?

[thunderbolt64]

They look great! What color is that?
Shiny!

I think the name is shiny silver.

[tim's slow5.0]

Nice nice

[ChrisJ]

Man those look a shit ton better...

I think when I rip my engine out I will take my BBK's over to Forman and have him do them in black...

[thunderbolt64]

Yeah, he prefers to do black. Has more experience with it. Flows better for him than the silver.

[Flyinby]

They look good

[thunderbolt64]

Powder coating will be done other places from here on.

[JHForman]

Sorry that this got all bent out like it did Dennis, I will deliver the recoated headers to you. I fixed everything that I was unhappy with from the first run. For reference the color is Shiny aluminum guys.

[2stangcoupes]

is it powercoat or ceramic?

[JHForman]

is it powercoat or ceramic?

The headers are actually done in ceramic. it has a 2000 degree temperature rating.
