Got the header painted today.
I personally do not like VHT exhaust paint but it was on sale at O'reilly's for $11.99 so I got it. I thought I had some Por-15 but I can't find it so for now.....it's VHT.
Previous $1572
Paint. + $13
Total. $1585
I also used some stainless hex head fasteners with some anti-seize on the heat shield......... to give the next guy a fighting chance.
