    I just got my tube bender set up, and I am digging the headers. Can I get an idea (if its not a trade secret) of what guage, and what you use to bend em up? :D

    Bravo Kevin. I used to build headers back when the only thing available were hedmans and a couple of small time builders. the "hot rod" applications were non-existant.
    One thing I learned early on, and later reinforced by Lil John Buterra, is never be afraid to throw away something when it's obviously going wrong and start over. After awhile you just get a feel for the right direction to go and the scrap barrel takes a lot longer to fill up.
    Equal length is a nice thing to talk about but I'm sure you know it can be elusive sometimes.
    Do you Ceramic coat when your done and if you do, do you have the inside as well as the outside coated?

    Yes, the coater does both inside and out. I use Loco here in Illinois. John is great, and is top notch for quality
