PaceSetter header coatings?

How good is this "Armor Coat" ceramic coating that the pacesetter headers come with? I'm interested in the long tubes they're coming out with for LT1s, and wanted to know if any of you guys out there have any experience with their coatings.

Agreed that ceramic coatings suck. If you dont want rust, nickle coat them.

Pacesetter blows, don't ever buy anything from them. My friend ordered headers for his 94 25th TA and they told him (after he got them) that they couldn't guarentee that the O2 sensors would fit. What kind of BS is that?

God I love having a car with no rust in a state where rust will never be a problem.


Pacesetters coating is still on my buddies car after a year no problems.

Pacesetter has notoriously bad costings on their headers.. they even suck in the import community(no bashing please). the product works fine, but it would be in your best interest to get another product or get it coated before install.
