Default Hooker Comp Jet Hot's rusting.. THinkin' about a switch?

Hey guys-

My hookers are starting to rust, I am going to e-mail Jet Hot about their "lifetime warranty" against rust and see what happens..

Anyway, I am halfway thinking about just replacing them with some stainless steel headers, so I don't have to pull them off in another 5 years and recoat them again..

ANyone have any suggestions?

Jeff

You can't beet Kooks Stainless. They fit great and they stand behind there stuff! I have owned 4 sets of kooks and all 4 sets came off the car as nice as when they went on. They also are some of the easyest to install.

I just recently put a set of there 2" race headers on the car and they are awsome!

I had to pull my JetHots off less than a year after my install cuz they were rusting and chipping near the collector. They re-coated them for me for free (less shipping) but supposedly they only do that once. They are already rusting/chipping again. My next set will be Kooks or QTP.

I love my QTP's. They make more power than most longtubes - they may in fact make the most power of them all - and they're stainless and $200 less than Kooks and ARH with no compromises.

If you need any pics or info, lemme know, I'm happy to provide.

I'd be interested in this, too. My Jet Hots are rusting at the collector.

Well, I pulled the headers off the car..

Not sure how it happened, what caused it, etc but I have a dime size hole in the header.. The hole was covered by the clamps and doesn't look like it was leaking exhaust, but now that I have found it, I am thinking about either getting these repaired or getting some new headers..

I am liking the looks of the XS Stainless, seems like lots of happy campers with them..
