Default RCM headers ...

Any idea what they might be worth? They're on my car now albeit not wrapped so I'm thinking - buy some new headers either wrapped or ceramic coated, remove the RCM ones (sell them on) then install the new ceramic coated ones. Saves taking the car out of action for a few weeks.

Cheers, TX.

A bit fiddly to do on the car but aslong as you get the gaskets not too hard a job to remove them then wrap and re-fit. That is if they are not a one piece including the up-pipe, I doubt it as my RCM headers are a seperate up-pipe.

The other option as you are somewhere in Berkshire is to give the car to Fiestaboy to wrap them because he has lots of experience wrapping manifolds and he can remove & refit the manifold quickly.

RCMS headers are two piece. Headers and separate uppipe.
Wrapping takes a day so even if you sub contract the wrapping, cost £95, your car is of the road for four days. Day one headers off and send, day two or three headers wrapped, return day four for you to fit.
Do not attempt to wrap on the car.

I will remove, wrap and refit your headers in a day, no problem - albeit a long day

Drop me a PM if you like
