I engine enameled my valve cover a while back, and it looks really good. the enamel is like 500 degrees rated or something, and i knew it would be fine for the valve cover. But im not sure if i can paint the exhaust manifold, "cover thing" because mine is dirty and looks like crap. and i can not find headers that will not eliminate my my cat (i have a 94 ST 7A-FE).
does any one think this will work, not work? I dont know how hot the thing gets, and i dont want it like melting or catching on FIRE?! thanks to any one who can helpp

that may work for the heat shield.
as for the header issue, yes anything available will eliminate the pre-cat but you'll still be able to pass a running emissions test but not a visual one and make a small modification to keep the check engine light away. -------------------- |
