Coated stainless LT headers?

Okay, I know SLP long tubes are coated stainless steel. I also know that everyone says SLP long tubes create ground clearance issues. I'd rather not use SLP headers.

Are there any other companies selling coated stainless steel headers? As far as I can tell, Kooks and QTP (the only other stainless brands I know of) are not coated.

If not, I imagine I'll just get a set of Kooks or QTP and get them coated. I just want to know what my options are.

not too sure about other companies and coated Stainless Steeel headers but you could always just send the kooks or qtps to jet-hot... they coat there. I think Dynatech makes stainless steel and so does hooker... not to sure though

Jet-Hot makes a nice coated headers, unfortunately they are mild steel.

Yep, Dynatech headers are stainless. I'm running those and they have excellent fit and ground clearance. Mine ARE Jet-Hot coated. With the stainless steel, coating isn't required for protecting the header from corrosion, but is nice for keeping exhaust gas velocity up and underhood temps down. I had mine shipped to Jet-Hot from the company I bought them from, coated, and then shipped to my house. Coating is usually under $300 through any of the sponsored dealers.
