I don't think so, but their ceramic coating is really nice.

Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10
mine has been on the road over a year and they look like they did when I got them except dull, due to the heat.

Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10
....any idea how they fit with a 3" "z"?... I'm thinkin the "z" should help "tuck" the headers up into the frame more?

Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10
you may have to go to mid-length headers. getting long tubes in and keeping them up above the bottom of the frame rails is going to be tough...unless they are custom made for the app.
