how much did you spend on the ORY pipe?

 

The std ceramic coating on the pacesetters isn't anything impressive. It is dull and very thin. Mine was showing a few rust discoloration specs after 5k miles down low on them. I'd either order the nickle plated or the painted ones and have them jet-hotted. But if the budjet is tight, the regular ceramics are worth the money over painted IMO.

 

what would the total cost be to have reg ones jet-hotted? more expensive than just buying the already coated ones?

after muffler/tune, do you guys agree that these are the next best step performance modding? (before intake)

 

Get them coated I've had mine just under a year and they still look good.

 

How much is it to get them coated from jet hot or whatever?

 

If you dont care about looks, just performance and reliability.....how good would just getting the cheapo painted headers and throwing a lot of heat wrap around them work out? there's even some spray you can get to protect the wrap from any fluids that might drip on em

o and yes...money is obviously tight

 

I will say that the Thermo-tec protectant spray is the best high heat paint i've ever used. It is the only paint that actually stays on. I painted my turbo piping with it before I wrapped it and painted afterwards. I didn't wrap my turbo manifold (which gets the hottest) and the black Thermo-tec paint turned to a dark gray and didn't burn off. #1 product IMO.

 

so i could buy the cheapo painted pace setters and just spray it, wrap it, and spray it again and that will work out for me?....
i also sent you a PM about something else

 

Mine Pacestter cost $310 ($275 for the coating, $35 shipping and handling) total to get them Jet-Hot coated (Ca to Az). Very worthwhile, the headers are cool to the touch after about 10 minutes, after a long drive testing out the power of the newly installed headers.

 

but will wrap and spray work well enough on the 'painted' pacesetters for the cheap guy?
