Default ceramic coating

Just got the mufflers back from Jet-hot coating. They look great!.
They decrease the temperature of the mufflers significantly.
I did not do the headers because the bolts looked very rusty and difficult to get to. When I get a new clutch and rear main seal, then I will have the shop remove the headers for me.
Did I mention they look great!
Special thanks to Edward for hooking me up with an exhaust seal ring.

Tom

Boy, you responded fast.
It does not reduce the engine temp, it decreased the muffler temp. By ceramic coating the mufflers and reducing the temp, I was able to remove the heater shields.
Therefore allowing the muffler to look brand new for many years.

Did I mention it looks great?

Cost was $385.00+$20 to FedEx them to Jet Hot. I got all new stainless steel bolts from Lowes to complete the project.

Don't buy cheap stainless fasteners. Stainless is much more susceptible to galling.

Kevin,
The headers look much worse then they really are. They are about a 10-15min job to remove.

You need a 13mm socket, 8mm hex driver and 8" extension for your ratchet.
They are specified to be torqued at 21 ft-lbs but are typically hard to remove due to rust.

You just inspired me to do my exhaust later this year.

Looks great!!!

David, they were $60 a piece. I sent them to Performance Coatings in WA. I shipped them last Monday and they were back tonight.
