Reply to "Header color question"

Gotta agree with Kelly. Stainless has a heat conductivity of ca. 14-16 while mild steel has a conductivity of around 22-31. So stainless exhausts naturally run a little cooler as well as looking pretty more-or-less forever. That's why stainless water tubes will leave your Pantera interior a bit cooler. And it brazes beautifully if you're not up to TIG-welding repairs.

Off-subjectnote: wanna-be bikers with stainless exhausts can buy a product that artificially 'blues' the headers in a few areas so it looks like they've really been pushing the machine. Blue headers means power to some!
