What's wrong with these headers???

My RPM headers are starting to look very shitty.
Its like the metal is bobbling, the white is metal.

Looks almost like oxidation that you would see on aluminum... So the white speckled stuff is metal and does not wipe off??? If so that is weird, maybe the ceramic coating is failing????

On a slightly different note.... How did your headers fit??? I'm having all types of fun with mine right now :shoot:

Let me know...

The fit is ok, you need rpm steering shaft.

Mine did the same, it's the ceramic coating.It happens when they get too hot.

Looks line they probably used a 1600*(cheap) ceramic coating instead of the 2000*(better) coating.

I have my turbo exhaust housing coated with the 2000* and it's fine.

Ceramic coating is actually white I think and they use another process to color it.
So I agree with the others that it's not the headers, it's the coating..
