Jet-Hot Header Coating
Hello.. I've searched this extensively and all of the threads lack information and experience.
Perhaps this can be the final Jet-Hot thread to all interested or involved with this product.
1) Would we be okay with the 1300 degree treatment, or do we need 2400 degree treatment?
2) Those that have it - what is your mileage with the coating, and your experiences?
3) Does the header have to be brand new for them to apply the coating?
4) I will do both inside and out, but is this necessary?
5) When they do both inside and out, are their still possibilities of early corrosion?
6) Does this coating also increase the risk of weld-cracking?
Hmmmm...

I've had 2 sets of aftermarket headers on my Mustang with the coating.
The header will still rust eventually if it is regular steel. The coating will flake away where the rust comes through.
It will not increase weld-cracking on your header if you do both sides. By doing the inside and to a smaller extent the outside, you are keeping more heat in the exhaust and less goes into the header and into the engine bay. The hotter exhaust gas also has higher velocity creating a better scavenging effect and more power according to Jet-Hot. I never compared myself.
When it will rust depends on time as well as mileage along with other factors. I had about 10K miles on my first set and they looked fine. Then the car sat over winter and it had started rusting in the spring 3 months later when I checked again.

The 1300* is fine for N/A applications. Most (all?) headers available for the S2k are stainless steel so you won't have to worry about rusting. The header does NOT have to be brand new. It is best to do both inside and outside of the header.

How much does something like this cost, and what kind of turnaround do they have?

I just spoke with them.
It seems like $200 after the coating and 2x shipping, with less than a 1 week overlay.
I am considering getting my header (7,000 miles), test pipe (new) and intake manifold done. I asked what they thought about coating an IM.
Thanks!
I want the Black coating...
Would you still be able to read a brand name through the coating? I show my car and am proud of a Toda header.

Well it looks like this thread will turn in another JetHot thread.
It seems I may get my OEM Intake Manifold, T1r 70mm TP, and Toda Header done this Spring. I've been in contact with them, and want the BLACK coating. Not sure about 1300 or 2400 temp rating, though. It seems 1300 would be fine, but could 2400 hurt?
