Default Jet-Hot header problems
Anyone have any problems with Jet-Hot headers air tubes snapping off and leaving a nasty nickel sized hole. I'm also not to happy about the amount of rust on them, I thought this stuff would last

Did you have them coated or did you buy a set of headers that were coated from somewhere?

No, these are Jet-Hot brand headers bought directly from Jet-Hot

I have had my Jet-Hots for a year, no rust at all, they still look new! I guess I was lucky, and my buddy has a pair also and his are 1.5 years old and his look as good as mine, we both have the race style so there is no emmisions stuff on them. Sorry to hear about your experence with them, I would be pissed to if mine turned out like that too. I thought there was a warranty on the headers? I may be wrong though.

Yeah, I believe there is a warranty on the workmanship. I would have bought the hooker headers but I have heard of the exact same problem with the hookers and these were supposed to be thicker material with better construction. I will give them a chance to make it right before I get to upset about it. It is just going to suck to have to take these things off and have my car down for a while.
