Planning to Jet Hot (inside and outside) my manifold, up-pipe, down-pipe, and dump tube.

Thoughts and opinions?

 

do it!

 

I used a local place, enduro coating. It is a freaking huge difference. Some people will say your manifold is going to crack if you coat it.

i did it to my old 2j manifold, turbine housing, downpipe and still crackless after 3 years and still looks great.

 

On the same note. I bought a j's-racing header and was planning to wrap it prior to install. I would imagine wrapping it would be more efficient than coating, but has anyone cracked their wrapped header from the additional heat? If so, what brand exhaust manifold was it, or what was the grade of metal if you happen to know.

Thanks, Snail

 

Idk man, the coating is ridiculous. I can touch my down pipe and manifold after running car hard and turning off for less than a minute.

Prior to coating, would still be pretty hot 30+ minutes later. (I have down pipe coated and wrapped)

can they coat the inside of the manifold too?

 

Yes, I think. Not the complete inside though.

most places wont coat the inside, and i would say the coating is better than the wrap , but the best would be to combine the 2

 

Jet Hot made a huge difference in my Supercharged ITR. I had my JDM ITR header coated inside and outside with Jet-Hot Extreme 2500 Black. You can feel a major difference in radiated heat as you hold your hand above the coated header and transition to the non coated test pipe. Under hood temps are ~30 degrees cooler after coating. I'm very pleased with how it works so far. I've only had the coated header on the car for about 18 months so I don't know about cracking issues.

When I'm done with all the ITR supporting mods I plan to start on my stock AP1 (daily driver) and Jet Hot will definitely be on the list for the S2.
