Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot?
Re: Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot? He means they will be stainless steel and coated, instead of the regular steel? they use now. Stainless will never rust or corrode.
The original Q stands.. are they Jet Hott coated or coated by someone else?

Re: Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot? yes they will be stainless, Barry said so. I don't know about whether or not they will be coated, but they will be stainless and no I don't think it will be more prone to cracking. Corsa and Borla all sell stainless exhausts and have been doing quite well with it. It would not be good business to have it if it cracked.

The SLP headers are stainless and coated. The coating is the only thing that keeps the temps down. All stainless is for is for them not to rust. I had a stainless catback and it was UGLY! Its not a pretty steel at all! Plus the welds, youll see those.

Re: Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot? Let me clear some things up. There will be an offical annoucement tomorrow, but our headers are stainless steel. Not coated. They are 304 stainless steel. There is no need for coating anymore on 304. 304 stainless is not a conductor of heat so it will not bring up engine temps like standard steel. That is why steel headers are coated. SLP is also using 409 stainless steel, which is cheaper. We are using the more expensive and more durable 304 stainless steel. Which is not brital. If anyone has a question feel free to call me.
Re: Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot? I've got a set of the new stainless headers on order <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I'll let you know how they look when I get them.

Re: Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot? I take it y-pipes will be stainless as well? And any progress on the catted Y? Any results on the Random Tech/Catco flow tests? Sorry for all the questions but I want the whole setup when it's ready to go. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Re: Are QTP headers coated with Jet-Hot? The current QTP Y's are not stainless to answer the question above...which will make any welding a touch easier. They are aluminized I beleive.
As for the finish, they can shine nice and they will likely end up the gold/copper tone as stated above. Perhaps it the chromed (i.e. some motorcycle) stainless ones that blue. Theres a reson you need to wait a short time for these...those of us that have done research beleive these will be some great headers. As I have a set being installed now, I'll let ya know how it goes.
