ceramic header help

[stevensmach]

I was wondering, if you bent a ceramic header a little, would the coating crack? I'm asking because when I installed the AOD in the car I had to bend the old headers out a little from the collector end, maybe an inch on each side. I'd like to know before I spend the money on a set of expensive headers and screw them up. Thanks

No it won't crack. I bent the crap out of mine, and all is well.
