install it wearing a hazmat suit haha

ASM used Zircotec to plasma ceramic coat their header/ Exhaust for #1 and #2 cars. Zircotec is located in the UK so you can ship your part to them.

There was a time i was going to go through this process with my exhaust until i decided i am going to swap to a Amuse exhaust. Now i will only be sending my header to them for that clean white color.

Installed it looks good

Swain tech is another option, very similar to ZIrcotec and is located in New York.

Am I understanding things correctly? Neither of these headers match what I thought was the ideal pairing which would be 1-3 and 4-2 which is the order of firing. Or is this a function of physical space for the header? Or, like lots of things, I just don't understand?
