Look!! how do i solve rusted headers???

[jeffseby]

Is their any type of spray or solvent that I can use for these rediculusly rusted header. They are 5 month old Heedman Headers. I don't know how they alreadly look so unsightly....Please Help!

Navel jelly might work what are the headers made of?

i had the same header and it did the same thing to me so i fixed it with a engine swap and there you go no more rusty piece of shit chikara header. what you can try to do is go to autozone and get that dupont high temp engine paint made to withstand 1200 degrees and sand the header off with some 300 grit then 600 grit and paint it.

Sandblast them then coat em with high temp paint or something

[zippeay]

Buy a stainless header, even high temp paint will come off, headers dissapate a lot of heat even more than high temp paint can handle. That's really your only choice or you can rap it with that high temp insulation for headers, that would work too

ok, thanks you guys, the headers are just the most basic header, i dont know what they are made of, $120 from summit racing.com, only ones i could afourd, otherwise i would get DC Sports or something.

[Frostbyte]

I would get rid of that shit and get DC like mine I got for 220 shipped.

[jeffseby]

damn, that bay does look GOOD.

In this case it might not be a bad idea just to get some "Header Wrap" and put-on it. At least it would hide the rust, and you would not have to worry about it rusting out, because it has already started....

[jeffseby]

i was thinking about header wrap, but dont you have to take out the headers to aply the wrap? I might just put my header heat sheild back on.

Frontbyte: What kind of hp gains do you think you got from those DC's? Anything noticable?

Um, heat sheild and header wrap are very different. One is a piece of sheet metal, the other is a flexible metal wrap that goes around the headers. The only problem with it is that it can cause headers to crack since they don't allow the heat to disipate.

I know that. I didn't ask " what's the difference? ". I asked how can you put a heatshield on an aftermarket Headman Header?
Not possible. Maybe he meant put the oem header and heatshield.

sorry, I don't know what I was thinking when I talked about putting a heat sheild on AfterMarket headers, I will try and fabricate some kind of thing to put on them to direct the heat to a certain position. OR SOMETHING.
