Heat wrap Motordyne Longtube headers

ABUNAI NISMO · 02-18-2020, 12:10 AM

I found a company in Vernon Ca that specializes in correctly ceramic coating for exhaust headers. I set appointment for Tuesday. I’m off from work taking in the morning I’ll ask for pictures to post. I have a choice of flat silver or chrome. I think I’m going for the chrome look.. secondly, I am still very much considering to heat wrap the headers afterward too! Is this silly? Hmmm. Thanks!

I've used JetHot on a couple sets of headers. The headers on one of my 4x4 trucks really took a beating in the dirt, mud and water. All of my bikes headers are coated too. Never had an issue.

The FI LTH's I have are coated silver by FI. I don't know who does their coating.

It's not silly. It's the right way to do things.

Nothing at all silly about heat wrapping the headers after coating. And if there is a difference in cost, I would just go with the less expensive finish since they are gonna be wrapped. That is, assuming there isn't a performance difference in the finish options.

Thank you for all the input! I really appreciate it. I dropped off the headers today and they should be ready Friday I’ll be sure to post pictures I went with chrome finish.
