I need some help here
I bought a ceramic coated silver mufflers..
The header is black but it is just rust inhibitor.. some California Law thing
My bug is blue and although the headers wont really show on a type 1 i thought of making them look good
so i want your opinion
The color wraps are: Dark Blue, Silver Chrome, Titanium or white
Here are the JPipes and these are not mine but it is to have an idea

Those wraps will hold in moisture and will cause the header to rust. I bought a car with a 1 5/8 merged bugpack wrapped header and it was rusted through under the wrap.

Interesting that the stuff hold moisture, The header gets hot so no moisture living in a dry climate = no rust. That is my case. |

I'd use the blue. Also I have used these all the time and have never had an issue with them rusting out the pipes due to moisture. |

Titanium, looks better with the ceramic muffler. I think the blue will look older quicker (being under the car & all) |

I would go with the ceramic color also. I have to ask, I LOVE that shade of blue. What is it? |

Why not get them ceramic coated? I had some V8 headers,turbo housing, and 4" down pipe coated for about 140 bucks. 6 years later they still look new. |

140 is too much money for me right now...
I just want opinions on colors... not suggestions.
Colors please |
