ceramic coating

anybody know of a place where i could send some headers away to get coated???

Go to www.thirdgen.org There's a link there to a place in texas that does a thermo coating. I don't think it's ceramic, but it's better. It's like Jet hot only better.

yeah i found the jet-hot site and am waiting on a price quote. thanks for the info...

Check these guys out. They sell headers already coated. American Coating Specialties. You can email them at [email protected] or call the shop at 281-446-6203.


Heres a thread from them. If you read it you will hear alot of good things about them. Much better than jet-hot.

summit racing has this silicone spray that supposedly works up to 1500 degrees. you guys know whether or not it works or if its a good idea to use it. im not looking to be running quarter miles in my car im just trying to protect the headers and maybe reduce some engine bay temps...

here's the link:

there always the header wrap, anyone ever mess with that?

actually everything that i have read researching the ceramic coating says that the header wrap is the worst option. they all say that the wrap just damages the parts and they eventually deteriorate. they say that most of the header companies wont warranty a set if they have the wraps cause of the damage they cause.

i figure that the silicone stuff is prolly just a protectant and wont actually insulate any heat but i was just trying to see if anyone had tried or heard of it before...
