JET HOTs are kind of a middle of the road header. They are priced significantly less than a Stainless Steel LT, but cost more than a "Budget Header". They fit very well and look really nice when you get them and when they're first installed. But (depending on where you live and how you drive your car) after only a short time this wonderful coating WILL develop surface rust, leaving them looking kinda drab. Eventually they will rust through and when they do, I wouldn't look to JET HOT for a shred of Customer Support.
You need to decide what kind of money you want to invest in this project. You can get a nice set of Ceramic Coated Pacesetters and a Texas Speed ORY for under $500 or a set of Stainless Kooks LTs and one of their Ys and spend significantly more on some headers that will out last your car.
I chose Jet Hots and could have netted the same performance increase with some Pacesetters and saved some cash. But if I could do it over again, I would have spent my money on a set of Stainless American Racing Headers and one of their Catted Ys. Live and learn, I guess.
All I'm saying is don't choose the middle of the road. In the long run, JET HOT Headers are simply overpriced Pacesetters. And you don't get anything for the difference in price.

American Racing Headers (ARH) and Kooks are the top of the line brands for Stainless Steel Headers on the market. Both get wonderful praise on this site and others.
I'd be happy with either, but the main reason I will eventually upgrade to ARH is due to the Merge on their Y-pipe. Unless, of course, I decide to go with a Kooks 3" True Duals Setup. Then I'll purchase a set of their LTs to match. Ah... decisions... decisions...
Check out the following thread for some pics of the ARH setup...
