Has anyone used Zybar exhaust coating
Has anyone here used this Zybar Exhaust coating?
How well does it work? Does it stay on the manifold/header once it’s applied? How durable is it? Does it mitigate the under hood heat as it claims? (This would be my first concern) I know a lot of a product’s effectiveness depends on the prep work done before it’s applied. My plan is to media blast and prep spray beforehand. justifying the cost is my concern. Lastly, is one 4 oz can enough to coat a set of headers? If it’s a good product, Great, but if it’s junk then I won’t bother. Thanks in advance |

Re: Has anyone used Zybar exhaust coating
I haven’t used that one but did use brush on coating like in this link.
Bead blasted and coated one set of headers and 3 pairs of manifolds. Stayed on nicely, looked good but needed a couple touch-up spots after the first year. I used it to make my manifolds stay looking nice. Heat retention wasn’t what I was looking for. Ultimately I think ceramic coating like jet-hot coating would help retain heat. These other ones not so much. https://www.ebay.com/itm/372808838080 |

Refreshing this, because I’m pretty sure someone on here posted about using it.
Now it is possible that I saw it on one of my FB pages too. |

Re: Has anyone used Zybar exhaust coating
So I guess I’m going to go with the Zybar, mostly due to the reviews of both.I’m not really concerned with the appearance factor as much as the thermal qualities, or lack there of.
My first concern is the heat soak on the starter, off the header collector, but if the product cuts down on the amount of under hood heat and helps to improve the “stock like” performance, that’s a plus |
