i purchase the Comptech headers a few months back....and this past weekend i took them off and i found out they were rusting...so i don't know what to do...it looks funnie...well one of my good friends told meh i should go power coated it..but i don't know where to start....any suggestion...don't feel like buying another set....

njtls

where is it rusting exactly...you sure its from the headers...

i bought my comptech headers used and it was all discolored from the heat and stuff so i took it to this place to get it coated... There is a place tats called jethott or something like that and they coat the stuff that looks like stainless steel...Looks really nice but I would have had to send it off so i didnt want to deal with shipping. In houston they had this place that coated my headers but the color was a dark gray... it protects it from rusting and cracking and it keeps it cooler so i would assume air would be able to go thru it faster thus making it more effective...oh **** ur from houston... haha that place i am talkin about is up near 1960 and jones. if ur interested PM me

jet hot coating. it'll give your hesaders a nice almost chrome like appearance that will NOT go away. it wont turn different colors or anything from the heat.

Oh sh*t, I should have read this post first before posting mine. Oh well, Hey Hornda, you got PM. E.T., if you don't want to deal with all that no more then I'll more than happy get your headers off your hands...hahahah later fool.

Something is not right. Comptech headers are stainless steel. They will discolor (golden tone) but I don't see how they can rust? I've had mine two years. Can you provide a pic?

Hornda

Well mine discolored and so i took it to polydyn.

if ya wanna take a look at my headers... we should have a meet ...

limitedTLS

yea sure.. i let vsop tls take it cuz the headers are at his house right now...i couldn't believe myself when i saw it...but sure enough it was rust

Hornda

this is how my headers look like when i bought it and now its a dark gray color

limitedTLS

yea my headers like somewhat like that

TL BIGDOG

does anybody know how much the jethot coating or powder coating will cost on a set of headers?

Hornda

i dunno how much jethot would be but it cost 150 to coat mine from polydyn

Damn my headers didn't even look that bad after 7 months of use...Hmm...

I got quoted from Jet Hot for about $195+s/h for coating my OBX headers.
