    OLDS Who's ceramic coated SS headers?

    I've got a set of ARH's being made right now, expecting delivery in a couple weeks. So I know the benefits of coating headers, but is it 100% necessary with SS? I think the biggest hurdle is finding someone to do it local, researching DYI methods now including Cerakote.

I've had some verification of this on fb but wanted...

    BUILD THREAD My 85 455

    Hey guys, I just introduced myself not too long ago. I don't have a ton of pics as most of the work done on this car was before computers were in every home and digital cameras even existed.

    New Guy from Florida

    Hello from the SW corner of Hell. I've owned my 85' Cutlass since I graduated in 89' and after blowing up the stock 307 a few years later I replaced it with a stockish 455. The car sat for way too long after spinning a rod bearing and came to life again in 07' as a fully built badass 455. Sadly...
