Which do you think give off more heat - stock manifolds or aftermarket headers?
- Thread starter lx347cid
- Start date
My headers are ceramic coated, can't get in the engine bay to tell if its hotter or not
Stock manifolds by far throw more heat and being cast iron they hold the heat longer as well, best bet is a good quality set of ceramic headers!!! Not cheap but so well worth it!!!!

To pretty to mount Brady.
They still look like this
That was exactly my thoughts.
Take the OE logs and have them JetHot coated - perfect solution.

Every time I change the oil, or the two times I've had to swap the alternator....I would really like to do coated headers or at the very least jethot the factory manifolds. The alt is just so damn close that heat has to be bad for it.
But then as I'm contemplating messing with it, and realizing what a nightmare it's going to be to get the manifolds off....I just leave it alone and go drink a beer lol. F that noise

That's ok, but if the k member is out use the ceramic LT headers
They are a pain for sure. I swapped mine in the first time when I installed this - which made it ridiculously simple:

The pics in the previous post are after a couple years when I build the new engine, which was a no-brainer to move them over then. Zero desire to mess with LT's.
I made a heat shield for my alternator. I don't know if it's as effective but its way less work.
