If the angle or diameter doesn't match exactly, you may need an adapter or custom exhaust work. Measure your current system first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I ceramic coat or paint this header before or after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeaders typically run too hot for standard paint. If you want heat protection, ceramic coating is your best option—apply it before bolting on, or use high-temp exhaust wrap after installation. Bare stainless will discolor slightly under heat but won't rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"K2 Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54605206749489,"sku":"K2-5013-SCI-006-EC","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5727\/5441\/files\/HDS-XB08-1.jpg?v=1781493302","url":"https:\/\/acmtechnik.com\/products\/2008-2012-scion-xb-header-stainless-steel","provider":"ACM Technik LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
