Jet-Hot Longtubes? I was browsing for some new headers online, and saw a Jet-Hot kit with LT headers, cats, and Y-Pipe for $970 shipped. The headers are ceramic coated, along with the Y. The header description and pictures look great, but I wanna know if anyone has or knows someone who has these headers and if they are worth my time and money. Thanks
The jet-hot Y pipe that I bought sucked. The hole in the pipe where the two merged was half the size it should have been, it was cut with a torch by a blind man. I had to make a 12" extension for my die grinder and it took a couple hrs to open it up. The headers were ok though.
Kooks ???

I've been told the Jet Hot Y sucks. The headers are good though. You could do the Jet Hot headers with a TSP Y. You may also want to consider the XS headers since they are stainless and around the same price.

the headers are ok and do make power but there y/cats suck
i had there catted y for maybe 5k miles before the cats blew out and were always restrictive
best bet would be a kooks setup to be honest . spend a little more but its also the last set youll ever have to buy . there cats flow pretty damn good too.
also the jet hott coating doesnt hold well to the elements

if you want to go cheaper then kooks with the same quality go with the XS headers. Buy the headers, but not the Y pipe. Have a shop custom fab you up a catted Y, it will probably be cheaper, and flow better.

I think I used a Hooker Y that an exhaust shop had to weld in about a 3" extension on the passenger side and it worked fine. I know I beat the horse down on my Jethot numbers, but I picked up 31 rwhp/30 ish rwtq to the tires on my 99Z with 224/228 cam, 4.10's, Borla, LS1 intake, pulley, etc. I added the LS6 intake afterwards and saw 8/11. I did have a constant check engine light every month for a driver side 02 heater circuit failure, which did start immediately after having the headers and I never found a cure other than replacing that sensor almost monthly.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think I'm gonna do the Jet-Hot LTs with the TSP catted Y. Did a little research and the TSP catted Y is a better deal than most combos, with good reviews. Now I just have to wait another 7 weeks till I get home from Iraq...
I did some reading and several people were saying that Jet-Hot headers are simply Hooker headers with a few slight improvements and the jet-hot coating. Has anyone else heard that?

yeah that's about right. They are "improved" Hooker headers. They are thicker and I think the O2 sensor holes are moved to the inside of the header so you don't have to use extensions. Correct me if I'm wrong.
i have been looking at some headers also, and looking at the Jet Hots. I have heard good things about them, haven't heard anything about the y though...camaro_five0, where did you see that kit for $950 cause thats a nice deal! I just want to check it out. Thanks!
I have coated Jet Hot LT that I paid $500 shipped and then bought a used coated Hooker Y-Pipe off a buddy for $100. I had to notch my k-member on the drivers side slightly but other than that they fit good.
If I was a new guy looking to buy LT headers, I'd get Pacesetter LT and Y-Pipe, nice pieces for the money.
