Check out Air Born Coarting in Connecticut. They did mine and they came out great. Here's the link:

Jet- Hot has a new coating called Sterling.
They say it has silver in the coating.

I had mine Jet-Hot coated and the side pipes have rusted twice in two years. Since they have a three year warranty they said they would do it a third time, but it would cost $140.00. I was told of a company called HPC in Utah. They have a better warranty and sounds like guys here have had much better luck with them. They will charge $180.00 to do them the right way and have a better warranty. I can't tell you how good they are, mine aren't off the car to be sent to them yet.

Check the Consumer Watch forum for ceramic coatings.

I do have to say my headers still look very good, but they wouldn't rust if I left them bare.

Mine are the Sterling Silver.

I have sidepipes that were coated black by HPC back in 1992/93 here in CT. The guys at HPC started their own firm called Airborn Coatings. They also do silver sidepipes. Here is their website...

As you can see from their website, Airborn does a great deal of work for serious professional racers. They do a great job and do most of the coating work for ERA from what I have been told. take a look at the exhaust headers in silver on the "customer" website. The coating is so good it looks like polished aluminum but it is heat resistant and stays that way. Quite nice indeed.

My sidepipes are about 12 years old now. Still matte and lusterous black without any chips, rust or rot. A better job you cannot ask for. Darned good coating. Additionally, my Sidewinder intake manifold was done in the Silver Aluminum coating and it looks like fully polished brand new aluminum even after all these years.

On the ERA GT-40 Airborn does all of the control arms and sway bars in silver and they look just super. So good in fact, I was thinking of having my sway bars done by them next winter season.

My dollars worth



Would try HPC as my Jethot pipes have also rusted and flaked.

Was told Jethot only coat the outside. Check this.

Yes, Jet-Hot only coats the outside of the side pipes, but they do in and out on the headers.
