72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 09:22 AM

I am thing about ordering some Hooker Headers coated from JetHot. I was wondering if anybody has any experience with this company, or thier products. Pics would be good. Thanks

I'll see if I can dig you up a pic in just a sec, but I have some Dynomax Jet Hot coated headers, and they are awesome! Look as good 7 years later as the day I put them on! They are the best, I would never use anything else.

I have to agree, Jet Hot is TOPS. I had a set of Jet Hot coated Hooker Super Comp headers on my 69 Camaro and they were awesome. The coating does prevents the typical header rusting. In addition, the coating helps keep the engine comparment cooler and speeds up the cooling process of the headers. Actually, I could make a 9 second pass down the track and pop the hood, and within a couple of minutes I could pull a plug for reading without burning any skin. If you have the cash, I would go for the coating.

Mine started to rust within 1 year and never even seen rain, they are coated in and out.HOOKER 1 7/8 primary 3'' collectors BB. Not happy, the were $600 and they now hang on my garage wall.

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 10:04 AM

I have herd a lot of good things about them and they give you a break it you buy the headers from them instead of a vendor

Mudder · 03-30-2007, 10:09 AM

Mine started rusting within one year from the inside out. From my understanding one of their main guys left JetHot and started a company called Airborne Coatings in Okla. Thats where I got my last set done and they are going on 3 yrs now with no problems.

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 10:15 AM

Thanks I'll look into it. Maybe they have better pricing and are definatly closser to home DFW area

Mudder · 03-30-2007, 10:20 AM

Airborne has a website and the turn around is fast. I would recomend them anyday.

**CUSTOM/10** · 03-30-2007, 10:54 AM

They might be OK if you don't drive in the rain or snow like we have up here. Mine were totaly rusted out in 5 yrs. I'm thinking stainless next time around.

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 11:05 AM

Can you buy stainless headers if so where?

**CUSTOM/10** · 03-30-2007, 11:13 AM

Stainless Works makes them for our trucks but they are PRICEY!!!! A couple of yrs ago they were $600, probably more now.

What is the best type of gasket for coated headers?

3/4tonterror · 03-30-2007, 11:18 AM

Stainless very pricey but worth it if you drive it in weather.

**CUSTOM/10** · 03-30-2007, 11:18 AM

I've found that the regular exhaust manifold gaskets last much longer than the header gaskets.

**CUSTOM/10** · 03-30-2007, 11:25 AM

Found them no pic's thow.http://www.stainlessworks.net/cart/p...roducts_id=861

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 11:25 AM

It looks like jethot & airborn charge te same 400 bucks + shipping. This is using hooker headers. Is there an alturnitive to coating headers to preserve them.

3/4tonterror · 03-30-2007, 12:04 PM

The pair i have had the longest are chrome,in my mustang with a BB, but you need to clean them often to keep them from deteriorating.I was sick of replacing headers in my truck, so i went back to manifolds.

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 01:46 PM

I have been using manifolds for a long time and the drivers side manifold is leaking exaust really bad so I have decided to replace them. I had exaust leaks and stayed away from headers because of it. I wish I could find a block hugger type header that bolts to factory type exaust setups.

Orange · 03-30-2007, 01:51 PM

Sounds like you are looking for a Sanderson style header...

Here's a pic of mine from when I was working on the A/C.
Excuse the mess.

They look about they same as when I bought them (end of 1999).

I had a set of the DynoMax on a daily driver Chevelle (no salt/snow just rain occassionally). They held up good for about 8 years, then when it became just a weekend driver they started getting rust bubbles here & there.
Also had a mud truck with headers that we sent to Jet Hot for coating. That didn't last but a little over a year & it was all peeling off.
So on my Blazer this go round I'm gonna try the "do it yourself" coating. That way if it starts coming off, not out as much money & can just blast them & do it again!

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 02:20 PM

Is there a product on the market that allows the do-it-yourself application?

Mudder · 03-30-2007, 02:22 PM

If you don't do the insides of the headers I believe u are wasting your time. They will rust from the inside out.

Another thing, if have someone do a set of headers for you no matter who it is don't send em an old set to have done. Buy new ones and sent those to them to have coated.

70GMCer · 03-30-2007, 03:04 PM

Here's my jethot hedmens before and then after putting them in the truck.....

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 03:09 PM

LOOKS GOOD. Nice finish

72 Cheyenne402 · 03-30-2007, 03:13 PM

What ever I would have coadted would be NIB. I want the job done right and the headers to last.
