I just bought some pacesetter jet hot coated headers and was wondering If they can rust. They are coated on the inside also.

Where are you located? It depends. I've seen jet-hot coated headers rust in the midwest.

if the coating comes off (which it can and most likely will) then it will rust.

i've had mine for 1.5 yrs or 2.5 yrs and mine look like new. i store my car during the minnesota winters. they cost a lot but i'm happy with the looks , fit and ground clearance. i did NOT like the cats. the jet hot cats slip inside the y- pipe and DONT pass a visual test ,luckily i dont have testing in MN but i'm screwed if i move to arizona.

pollution does it too. They will rust, but it will take years. Everybody thinks they'll have their car forever, but chances are, it'll be the next guy's eyesore.

If you break or scratch the coating they will rust. My Hookers were coated and once they were scratched the headers rusted underneath.

Yes, they will rust. After I cleaned out my engine bay a little rust around formed around the AIR fittings.

Yes they will, stainless is the only way to go if your concerned about that

I have a Jet-Hot brand pair I got used, little hint of
rust at the time but now looks very crappy on the
underside. It's only a matter of when, not if.

Mine rusted so bad the coating started to chip off less than a year after the install. I sent them back in for a re-coat under warranty. Guess what? they are doing the same thing again.

Jet-Hots will definitely rust. The only question is when.

gotta go stainless if u r worried about rust (rust never sleeps!)....but then again $400 for pacesetters or 800-1000 for stainless. Depends on how long u r gonna have it. And if u are looking underneath it all the time, and it bothers u! Me ...all go no show...I'm buying $400 pacesetters (coated) and spending the other $600 on cam or intake.

My exhaust on my LS1 in my sand rail is jet hot coated.
Have had them like that for 3 years, no rust.
Sand blasted and dulled, yes, but no rust.

I had Jet Hot Coated Hookers on my old car (was my DD) and they rusted in a year. I've learned from my mistakes and will be doing stainless on my new car.

Yes, the coating will come off.

How long depends on where the car is kept and how it is driven.

IF warm, dry days only, then it should last a few years.

Cold, wet days coupled with salt off the roads, maybe 6 months.

Either way, plan on a recoat
