While I'm still waiting on my camshaft, I was wondering what you guys think would be a good coating for my 350 turbo manifolds. Right now they seem to have remnants of old header pain on them. For me, reducing under hood temps would be the main goal with looks being secondary. The three options I'm considering are header paint (cheapest), header wrap (medium), and Jet-Hot ($300, most pricey). Or maybe a combination of wrap and paint?
Obviously jet hot coating is the best option. Wrapping works fine but ONLY if the car is stored in a dry moisture free environment. Any moisture in the air will cause rust under the wrap. Due to the nature of the log manifold style I don’t see wrap as a very functional option. I just added a stage 2 scoop to bring in some fresh air. Heat has never been an issue with my car, just header paint on the manifolds.
Good to know! Right now I'm getting quoted for either the 1300 or 2500 degree coating. Which one did you go with? How's it lasting? The Jet Hot rep said she recommended the 2500 for a turbo application but she may be just trying to upsell me
This is the company/coating I used. Still looks brand new. http://www.afipowder.com/motorsports/ceramic-header-coating-armor-coating-tm/
