I had Jet Hot (designed and coated [one of the best coatings available]) long tubes on my 95, and after a year or two, the coating came off of them too. It was under warranty, so not a big deal, but those were a b!^@# to install.

These Doug Thorleys are easy, took me less than 2 hours. Plus, it looks like these also have a lifetime warranty:

Has anyone had the bolt come loose on there shortys ? do you have to check them once a month , I know they would come loose on L/T but this is my first set of shortys .

thebrainhart · 09-26-2009, 01:33 PM

I havent checked mine, been on for about 3 weeks. I put locktight on all the manifold to head bolts

Anything NONGM would void the warrenty, yes,kinda. If damage is done to the motor that is caused from the non-GM part, the warrenty is garabge. If it is not linked, then its fine.

Checked mine today and after putting 550 miles on the car and they were all tight. I guess I will check them every time I change my oil.
