If anyone is thinking about headers for their Lightning or any other project, JET-HOT is definately the way to go. The coating is a little more expensive, but well worth it. Check these babies out...

 

One more pic...

 

Do you plan on haveing them dump right out of the header?

 

Yep, they dump directly from the header. 555 cubes need to breathe. They go on this beast...

 

OK, that makes alittle more sence now... Looks like a fun ride .

As for the coating, yes Jet-Hot coating is very nice as well as Ceramic coating.

 

Those don't look like they fit a Lightning. J/K I guess a 555 CI Lightning would run pretty strong too.

Those must be for the Super Comp Car. Those are nice.

I always run coated headers and exhaust now. Much easier to maintain. I've found a guy here in LA who does it cheap. Did both my Cobra Sidepipes for $160. Jet hot wanted almost $400.

 

Jay, how's the quality of the coating that your local shop does? Durability is a big issue for me since the headers come on and off a lot...plus JET-HOT puts up contingency money in the NHRA Is the process your local shop does similar to JET-HOT's?

 

The local shop here does pretty good work. they are in thebusiness of coating aricraft turbine and afterburner parts, so I assume it's a similar process.

I'll post a couple of pic's of the sidepipes that they did for me a coupe of years ago. They are still pretty shiny.

BTW, the headers that I had done by MCCI burned off. The street motors sometimes don't get enough air flow and run pretty lean.
