1) Ceramic coat headers inside, & outside.

2) Ceramic coat sidepipes outside, and inside as far back from inlet, and outlet as far back as possible.

3) Use stainless bolts on header/sidepipe connection.

4) Use ARP header bolts. They don't rust.

5) Use RTV Copper Plus hi temp sealant on header, and sidepipe gaskets.

6) Use FelPro embossed copper header gaskets, not composition exhaust manifold gaskets.

7) Use ceramic coated sidepipe heatshields (not aluminum or stainless) mounted 1/2" from sidepipe muffler.

8) Mount sidepipe with at least 1 1/2" clearance between muffler and body to avoid paint blistering.
