dc header, paint? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Apparently wrapping it voids the warranty since it's coated. I'll just leave it stock probably just in case

A couple things to consider, contact DC and see if they will:
a. ceramic coat a header in a custom color or
b. sell you a bare header (preferably at a slight discount) and then have it sent out and ceramic coated in the color of your choice.

Also, I think painting over their ceramic coat will void the warranty as well.

Any alteration to the header is going to void the warranty. Decided if you want it yellow, or want a warranty.

Never heard of one having a problem.

I painted my exhaust near the back by the 2nd muffler and it mostly burned off. I also painted my header but that only lasted for 15 minutes before it burned off as well.

My header gets hot enough that it develops mill scale, which is somewhere in the 1200-1800 degree range.
