O.K. Well, I did find these. Not SW, but maybe it'll give some an idea of what to expect. These are from Supersprint and are for the Land/Range Rover V8's & they do come with cats. These are supposed to be exclusive Hamann pieces. Don't know how much they cost, but everywhere I looked, they had the "call for price" fine-print thing goin' on. See, I was on-topic an' everything.

Huh. I wonder what happened to him? Has he installed them? Those look killer. Will need to be coated though....

I thought stainless steel exhaust components didn't need to be coated.

Very interesting about the EGR?? They give you an EGR extension tube. That was one comment from the guy that purchased the headers to try and fit them to a S Type. He said the EGR connection was different from the Lincoln LS setup. With that extension tube it looks like a bit of modification would allow you to fit them as needed??

Getting a good coating from a company like Jet Hot for instance, will make the headers coolers (reducing underhood temperatures) and will increase scavenging. Looks good too.

I love Lynda Carter. Yum.

I've heard good things about NitroPlate aluminum-ceramic coatings. From all my google & forum searching, the general consensus was that their quality was supposed to be better than JetHot. Anybody on here got experience with either of these two, or anybody else? Your opinions would be appreciated. (Look what I found)

I've heard good things about that coating as well but I have a lot of experience with Jethot and the stuff works!
