Doing a poll to see who would like to have a set of LPP LT1 stainless headers and Y.

Yes they can be polished but it would take you a longgggg time. Have you ever polished a wheel? Well you would have to polish all the way around all four pipes on both headers getting in between all the pipes.
Not something that I would really want to try. Yes it could be done but being mill finish your would first have to buff them with ruff polish then go down to fine polish. That's why we polish the pipes before we make them because the pipes are just straight lengths of pipe and we use a pipe buffing machine to do it. Then we do the cuts and bends and weld them up. After that we just have to do some touch ups on the polishing.

Ok when I set up this poll I was just going to put a yes answer. But then I thought well why not put a yes and no just for the heck of it.
I really didn't think anyone would say no but someone has :( So we have 17 yes's and 1 no. Why would you vote No?

Ok I can see now how I got one no vote. The guy has no post here at all ever and just joined a few days ago and didn't even make a comment in the thread about why he voted no.
I ran into this issue years ago when we first come out with the LT1 headers and I was on LS1tech. One of the Kooks guys kept setting up new user names and just making one post in every thread I had about the LT1 headers trying his best to bash them.
Some people just never give up I guess:)

I'd like to get a set but I've still gotta get my driveline finished and tune but after all is said and done i will most likely be getting a polished set, I was wondering do y'all offer a ceramic coated version


SMOKE TIRES NOT DRUGS

I don't think they offer a ceramic coat...however I am curious what it would run to have my set shipped to someone who CAN ceramic coat them, and send them back...what are the benefits and downfalls of ceramic coating other than cost?

Under hood heat reduction more then anything. But then you got to worry about chipping later in its life.

You could send them off and have inside coated or something. Im more of a fan of the SS look myself.

I love the polished SS, don't get me wrong...however my old ones have become rainbow colored lol. I am curious to find a way to retain the polished silver look, if it is even possible...I am not sure how ceramic coating and all of that stuff works to be perfectly honest...or even what it looks like when it is done...never had ceramic coated headers. I had a set of Dynatech Satin SS headers in the car when I bought it...I took those off asap and got my LPP Polished SS headers...haven't looked back since.

Have you used any SS polish on them to remove the rainbow?

Its a common issue. My Kook's was starting to do it by the flange and down the primaries a ways. More so after the dyno. Because if the heat from full throttle pulls.

I have not...I may try that soon. I am going to keep this old set after I get my new ones, so I might give it a shot and see how it turns out. Thanks!
