brent flynn · 02-10-2013, 11:22 PM

Who are you guys using to ceramic coat your headers? Ive got a new set and want to get them done... How much can i expect to spend? And how long will it last? Thanks in advance!

That's easy...

Racers who sponsor multiple races, including the 5K combo race held n conjunction with BG's National Open. Great pricing (which is listed on their site), quality and customer service.

X2 on Nitroplate.

Nitroplate. Prices are very affordable and the work is top notch. Kevin and staff are very much involved in stock and super stock racing.

Brent,
As to how long the coating lasts depends on your tune. My 18 yr old Jet Hot coated headers looked great, until a couple of years ago when I had a fuel pump lay down and leaned the motor out. Now they do not have the gloss that they used to have. So I would say the life of the header, unless you do something dumb!
Like others have stated, support the companies that support us. I think Jet Hot was the only game in town that long ago, as a known reputable company. I have not heard many good things about them the last few years with paying contingency.

Nitroplate. Best quality I've seen in years.
Last 2 sets of headers I had done by Jethot were junk in 1 season!
