I am sorry to be the pessimist, but this really sounds too good to be true. My guess is that they are the same design, but use thinner gauge metal and a cheaper coating. I sure hope I am wrong though, but 99.9% of the time you get what you paid for. Lets hope this is the 0.1%

I wonder if I can just buy the painted ones, put like 10 coats of whatever paint on and they will hold up?

I am really looking to get some headers. I was looking at getting the jet-hot brand headers, but these are so much cheaper maybe I will just have to take the plunge. If I do not like them I can sell them to one of you guys 
Oh yeah, Summit list the ceramic coated ones for $347.39 and are ready to ship tommorow. The x pipe is $93.69 and has an addition shipping charge, what ever that means.
It would be interesting to see if a Hooker x pipe would mount up to these headers. A $93.69 x pipe cannot be made all that well.

My new X-pipe for my headers is only about 1/2 the size of my X-pipe for manifolds. Less materials = lower price for the customer
Plus, they aren't using a stamped X section which cuts costs down even more.Just ordered them tonight, and the x-pipe. I'm going to get some cats welded into it. Figured what the hell, might as well try them out. My friend had some flowtech headers before on his 5.0, they were cheap as hell, and they worked. I bought the painted ones, and I'm going to put some coats of hi temp aluminum paint on them myself, they should hold up well, I've done that before. I'll let you guys know what I think of them when I get them in. Take care, Mike
I might order these too. Cheap headers=win. I live in NC where it snows once a year (actually twice this year), so not a lot of underbody rust. If the coating isn't too good to begin with, just spray paint the hell out of it with hightemp paint. The only thing I am worried about is the fitting. I bet a Dr. Gas X pipe would fit nicely.

You guys ever use header wrap? Seems like a good alternative to cermaic coating or even in additontion to.

I think the problems is that it may increase the chance that the headers will rust. All that heat being held in by a form of tape/cloth is bound to attract moisture in the samll air gaps under the tape. The water would just be trapped in the tape until it got hot enough to evaporate. With ceramic coated there is no tiny gap between the coating and the metal so there is no palce for mositure to condense.millatime said:
