airborne header coating vs jet hot

[kinpin]

I am thinking of getting a set of KOOKS header for my ZL1 and I want them coated sliver . Airborne coating is literally half the cost of Jet Hot . Dose anyone know why ?

If by silver, you mean "polished silver", don't waste your time. Polished ceramic is not rated for supercharged applications and many more for that matter. You need a high temp ceramic rated at 1800F - 2000F+.

that's what you should get for sure. polished ceramic coatings would not last in the heat your engine could generate. you don't want to have them coated and then need to redo it down the line because it burned off

How long have you had them on ? do it matter what color ?
Did you send them your headers or did you order them already done some where ?
How hot is the coating rated for ?

Thank you

Coating is rated for 2,000 degrees or higher. I went with the Glacier Black as I wanted overkill on the coating. the Glacier Silver is rated for the same temps.

I've had them on the car for about a year and the color has stayed the same. if i wipe them down it goes back to a nice deep black. normally they look king of grey-ish from the dirt and dust. Bottom of the collectors still look great as well, a few scratches but nothing serious (no peeling).

I dropped the headers off here: http://coatingsusa.com/
Great people, and they told me they would recoat them for next to nothing if I ever take the headers off. they also did the insides of the pipes which is where most of the impact is made.

make sure whoever coats the headers for you does the inside of each primary. most places i talked to said they will hit what they can but didn't guarantee full coverage
