No those are the first ever modified set of S&S Headers to fit in a beretta. I did them back in 06 or 07 I can't remember.

Haha that's a 120GRIT blast sprayed with WD40 so it doesn't rust while I'm waiting to do the flange. I won't coat it till I'm done with that.

That's the wrong EGR though, isn't it? Or is that a 96 thing?

Confused on how thats the wrong one... That's a 96-current EGR... they are all the same since OBDII... I'm actually using the 05 one that came on the 3500 engine.
Thats another reason why OBDII is better... No adapters needed and the newest EGR will plug right in so you can use all the factory pipes and such.
No one has grabbed the other change yet. Its quite obvious in one photo too...

first pic i saw i was like wtf wasn't he going to use a v-band then i saw the pic with you holding it.
and your finally using the coolant stalk i gave you. i was wondering when you were going to use it. it's so much nicer looking and easier if you have to remove the front valve cover.

I was waiting for your reply.
Its the visual deal and the fact that the hose for that line was touching the header with the way it was installed, so hopefully with me running my own line I can position it better so it wont be near it.

Nah, not really... The finish right now is so uniform and good looking it can easily be mistaken for a cast iron look coating.

Does ceramic coating on headers really lower temps to help Horsepower??Or is this a myth i wanted to redo mine onces i remove the engine.

Hell no not a myth... Ceramic coating acts as an insulator, it does at least 3 things... It holds in some heat into the header itself to keep flow up, and it also insulates the heat away from the engine bay to keep under hood temps down, and it also provides a corrosion barrier over the item... Granted if its stainless then the last item isn't as critical.
I thought yours were already coated by Milzy... or did he not do that?

visually appealing it cleans the front up and yeah i wasn't keen on the hose near the rear header myself.
you saw my engine bay before and i just ran my hose down the side under the engine mount. aside from the first 6" of hose the rest isn't visible.
