Thread: Ceramic coat stainless headers?

well there you go, now you have a good answer that you researched on your own and came to a good conclusion.

I had a set of shorty mild steel headers for my Chevy Tahoe that I had sent out to Jet-Hot for coating.

• It did not insulate any better, anything that touched them still got destroyed.
• There was no discernible difference in engine compartment temperature.
• It concealed the rust that was occurring so that by the time you noticed the rust showing it was already too late.
• It set me back $300 for the headers + $120 for the coating + my labor to remove, ship, reinstall.

If I had to do it again, I'd get stainless steel headers and never look back.

Just my .02, even though it seems like you have a couple bucks already.
