MSDS Header Sale (Feb)

I pass inspection with mine, no issues.
MIL eliminators FTW!

Thanks to this GB it seems that we'll be doing two more header installs. :crazy: We've done two already.

Want to come over here and install them on my car? No garage and it is only -20 below right now. Could be fun!
 
can i just get the y-pipe and everything else i may need? anybody have a price on that also?
 
uhh yeah luca u could run straight pipes since ur emission exempt arent you?

I am exempt but no straight pipe for me.

That's just too cold for me. ;) You are welcome to come here though as it's a bit warmer.

I think your best bet would be to give Marty a call and ask the price of the y-pipe.
If you do call, please post here and let the others know. I'm sure there are others that may want to know the same thing.
 
guys just a fyi, the from the paper work I got from when I picked up my headers from a CEG member it cost $179 for Jet Hot to Coat the headers ...
 
Got a call back from Marty & placed my order.

2-3 weeks turnaround for the coating (mmm, shiny XTREMEE!!!!!11) and another week for delivery. I'll see these puppies come Spring!

~$660 shipped
 
Since I am already in line for Joey's turbo kit, I won't need the y pipe. I am just going with the headers for $180 plus the $125 ceramic coating. Plus $30 for shipping, so it looks like about $335 shipped for just the headers and the coating. I need to call marty to clarify, but this is where I found the coating price at the bottom of the page... and for those who don't want to click on the link... this is what it says.

"Try MSDS new Z95 Ceramic Coating... good up to 1,650 degrees,
FAA approved!
4 Cylinder $115 - 6 Cylinder $125 - 8 Cylinder $185"

Oh, and nickel plating should be $40 less, so that would be $295 shipped for just the headers with the nickel plating.

And those numbers are if the discount DOES NOT apply to the coating. If the discount does apply to the coating along with the headers, it will be a few bucks less! :)


Just thought I would throw that out to all who are in the same boat as me, that is just needing coated headers! And does anyone know how good nickel coating is?!?!? I haven't the slightest idea how it would hold up.

And don't quote me on these prices, I still am yet to talk to Marty. I am just going off what the headers in raw steel cost shipped, and what his site offers for coating the headers.

Might need a set of these as well. What about the nickel plating? Does anyone know how well it lasts?


I emailed Marty about the nickel plating, and this was his response...

"The nickle is a chrome finish (circa 1940 technology) , which will basically turn blue in a week, and offers very little protection/ advantage...for $85.00"


So basically, even Marty himself is saying that it isn't worth the $85.00 ! :) I am now going spend the extra 30 or whatever for the ceramic coating! You always can upgrade to the Xtreme metallic ceramic upgrade for another $40 like some who posted have done.


Anyways, just thought I would update that info for you guys. Time is running out for the discount!

Or you have them shipped to me and have them done in a two-stage satin black ceramic good to 1500 degrees for $70 + shipping.
