Coating ARH Headers Yes or No

[Jack B]

There has been a lot of pro/con posts about Belangers versus ARH. Most of the Belanger's seem to be coated, however, a lot of the ARH headers seem to be non-coated.

Questions:

1. Stainless (ARH) is not as easy to coat as the aluminized Belangers, when ARH headers are coated, how is the durability of the coating.

2. Does the color of the coating affect the look or durability.

3. Has anyone had an under-hood heating issue with uncoated ARH headers, such as burnt O2 sensor wiring or issues with the fuse box wiring?
