Thanks for posting that. Man I thought about doing that and just didn't know how that would look. That looks great though. I guess that's applied just like a regular power coating. I was just reading a magazine with an article about power coating and other things like that. Well, that was about two weeks ago I think. Interesting. And is this the site for those of us that didn't know?

I've been looking at the lighter options with the headers, but like others said, you can't find the darn things anyway, and if you do they want an arm and a leg. Maybe Toyota just needs a non breakable exhaust manifold for this car. Well at least for the early years I guess since I haven't seen any later years with that problem, but I'm new so what do I know. Not to mention they won't do that for an old car any more. Either way, a very helpful post. I may end up just welding the sucker though. I want to see how well that will hold since I really don't do much spirited driving myself.

Oh yeah, I miss the stronger feel of the car when all the exhaust is nice and tight. No leaks on the exhaust = a very HUGE smile on my face.
