Hello all,

I am going to ceramic coat my turbo exhaust manifolds and downpipes. Goal is to help keep engine bay temps and radiant temps down, as well as radiant temps around the clutch / transmission. Also just to help maintain and preserve the pieces.

I've spent a while looking around for a reputable East Coast shop to do this. Jet-hot seems the most legit with many different options as well as a lifetime guarantee. I called their rep and was recommended 2500 degree for the manifolds and 2000 for the downpipes. Here's the kicker, I was quoted a total of around $675 for all four pieces. Seems stupid high to me but what do I know.

So my questions to the community is, does this seem high? Anyone experienced with any good shops East Coast wise? If anyone could point me to a good place it'd be much appreciated, or even any input on whether the $675 is OK for Jet-hot.

Thanks

 

YES that seems quite high as in double.....I have seen different prices from 3 different places....150 for manifolds, 100-150 for downpipes.....check around...swain, techline, etc......

 

I just sent out my headers to Nitroplate in TN. It was $200. You might want to give them a call. I read some bad reviews about Jet-hot on the hotrod forums, most people liked Nitroplate. I haven't got my headers back, so I can't really comment good or bad on their work.

 

Nitroplate, gotcha! Thanks I will check them out. TN is close so that is good too.

Hooker, I will also check out your recommendations too, thanks!

 

This is what I used on my 321 stainless headers. No coating. Seems to work well. Wrap on any exposed bits...

Found my place guys, Calico in Denver, NC.

They appear to be extremely professional. Good pricing as well. Thanks for the help.
