Any thoughts on coating the exhaust headers? Just got a set of XS headers and want to make sure I don't miss any work prior to install.

I have read some talk about thermal coats, but to me it seem that although they would keep some heat away from the engine bay, they would also cause the headers to expand more. Undesired expansion and possible fittiment issues = leaks.

check out that website. I just sent mine out yesterday. 230 for the headers and b pipe. I dout this will affect the install tho.

 

i have comptech headers with the jet hot coating on my CL for quite a while. excellent way to keep the headers in pristine condition and to dissipate heat. no discoloration at all. no fitment issues with the headers, at least for comptech. there's some feedback about xs headers in the forum if you search.

 

how much did it cost you?

 

is jet hot coating worth it?

 

a member on the 2GTL had his XS headers coated, he hasnt had any issues

 

200 for headers and downpipe coating plus shipping. definitely worth the buy. got it back from jet hot in a timely manner. still looks new to this day.

 

they say you can average a gain of 1-3% gain in hp, did u notice anything?

 

Had mine coated a while back before I sold them. Got the sterling silver coating. It discolored a littel to the point where the shine dulled down, to a gray.

Helped a little I suppose, but it was a while back.

 

well, i definitely noticed a gain from the headers. but i'm not too positive about the coating giving you increased HP.
