Getting mine done in 2 weeks, I know Moif has had it done on his VXR8 and reports a very good improvment.
Anyone else had this done ?

Will post findings on mine when i return from Hols and collect car from MF, Who are fitting a chiller cooler at the same time biggrin

As previously stated, I am likely to do the same (chiller and ceramic coated headers) depending on how yours turns out. It would be good if Roger can do a before and after comparison as it will be nice and warm in August and it would be good to see the effects on under bonnet and intake temps.
I will ask Roger to do this smile

Is there a lot of prep required before sending them off (as they're not new)

May get mine done, can't hurt to have it cooler in the engine bay now can it...
No prep, take them off, put in box and post biggrin
(well got Roger at monkfish to do mine ) hehe

I'd hazard a guess that's to just clean then and coat as coating is around £800 normally. It's allot of money TBH, think il just cut bigger vents in the bonnet soon. wink
882 fir long headers plus vat

Ridiculous price!!!


(But while people pay it, they'll keep charging it)


They obviously need some competition.
True, But if the real world results are as they claim, it will be money well spent IMHO biggrin
Plus as part of the overall package of mods on my car, its one more bit taken care of smile

Not critical of what you have done. Just by comparison Ceramic coating is a AU$300 (£166) option on my Pacemaker LT headers. I reckon it looks better than Zircotec too.

nice, don't think they will do my 5 year old wortec hehe

So bad customer service, slow and expensive.

Hopefully they add shed loads of BHP.

Looking forward to the results at SRR next month smile

Hopefully you havnt changed anything else since last time mate otherwise we will never know!
Yes,Yes, and, Yes..... frown

Should show some BHP increase, but main reason for doing this was just to keep thigs cooler cool

No other changes, but will have chiller cool fitted, but will do a runs with this on and off smile

That's common in this game.
Its had a big snow ball effect, as Roger is now in the st trying to catch up lost time and my car sorted frown
he needed the headers end of last week to get my car back to me. May have to wait another couple of weeks unless Roger is not worryed about sleep this week laugh
