Default Re: Rust on ceramic headers

I had a set of Hookers rust a few years ago. Hooker recoated them for free. I was told by the Hooker rep that you should keep plywood or cardboard on the concrete floor under the area where the headers are on the car. I have done this and had no further problems with rusting.

Default Re: Rust on ceramic headers

I have jet hot ceramic coated longtube headers on my 99 SS and they are starting to rust. They have been on the car for the past 5 years or so, but its only had about 16,000 miles put on it in that time period. Car is never driven in the rain, and is in dry storage too.

As far as cleaning the headers, the best thing I have found is Eagle One Never Dull Wadding Polish. It comes in a silver can and you can get it from most autoparts stores or wal-mart. Its about $5 bucks or so.

The next set of headers will be my last. I am going to get some stainless steel headers. Cost more, but not painting or replacing. Roger
