Brite Hot/CermaKrome coatings?

Rear Exit Headers and Brite Hot/CermaKrome coatings?

Anyone have experience with these coatings for exhaust components? How do they compare to Jet Hot?

This is a local establishment and would prefer to give them the business if possible, but not at the expense of quality. Thanks.

Good question, and unfortunately I do not know the answer. They look great, so hoping someone can answer your question.

I believe this is the same guys that did a show at Leno's garage.

Thanks Jeff. I'll search for it when I get on a desktop.
Anyone have real world experience with it?

 

[bonehead]

Did a search for Jay Leno and this particular coating. Also checked Jay Leno's Garage website. Only thing I could come up with is references to him using CermaKrome on his own cars. Guess that's a pretty good endorsement if true.

A motorcycle forum thread was very pleased with the results and said this is the same process as Jet Hot without the more well-known name (and consequent price mark-up). Unless someone has knowledge to the contrary, I'll probably give these guys a try.

What new exhaust setup did you decide on to try out this vendor? *trollolol

If you're possibly looking at ceramic coatings, Rewarder Custom Headers and Coatings, Inc., do quite a bit, in both the boat and car markets. They're located in Camarillo, CA.

Thanks for the link, Ralphie. Still think I'll go with the local guys, but if I get a bad feeling or hear otherwise, I'll look into them.

Ed,
I wonder if this is the same product/similar process Edlebrock has been using on intakes the past few years?

I am told the key to good ceramic coating is the setup/prep work on the parts, not necessarily the product. I use Calico for all of my coating work (after some bad experience with a local shop). The price of coating isn’t that significant but sometimes the takedown and reassembly can make it worth doing right the first time.

Good luck

Ed what exhaust system did you finally settle on?

I second that big time! Whether ceramic or powdercoating or painting....anything.

Kevin, I don't know the answer to that. But when I get in contact with these guys, I'll be sure to ask.

Absolutely. I'm sure their formulation vs. Jet Hot varies little to none at all. As you and Kevin said, successful application of all coatings and paints requires meticulous prep work.

Well, I go back and forth everyday. Just like buying the car itself, thought it was time to sh*t or get off the pot

M-9430GTX........oh man, I hope I don't regret it.

Really, the Ford Racing long tubes? Holy cow man, you should go ahead and buy your neighbors some flowers or candy... maybe just a box of quality ear plugs.

Have fun!

LOL. Not making me feel better about this decision.
My wife and kids and my neighbors are my biggest concern, not 5-0. My son's bedroom is right next to the garage and directly across the street from my neighbor's front door. Early morning drives are probably out from now on.

My car is a lot quieter and my wife would kill me if I started it up after the kids went to sleep. The car is right under their bedrooms.

I believe the head pipes are the same for both of the Borla header assemblies. If the rear exit setup is too loud for you, it will fairly easy to install the collector, mid pipe and muffler from the setup I have. To be honest though, if you have any doubts about using the rear exit headers, it will be too loud for you.

The only thing louder may be SW headers with no cats, but the FRPP rear exits may still be the loudest. Definitely they are the loudest I have personally heard. Am and talking about the sound at WOT under a load and at 6000+ RPMs. Ear splitting loud!
