Hello People,
Need some help on which header manufacture to use?
The current headers are Rewarder and the coating burns of around 13-1350 degrees.
Does your manufacturer temp exceed 1500 degrees before burning off?
Where can I get the info
Thanks
Willis

I always wondered about power on headers that I've seen. At the shop I worked at it was baked at 400 degrees. But that's not the jet coat, just powder. Wouldn't powder just melt back off?

Willis go see Jeff @ Embee in Santa Ana. They coat top alcohol and injected nitro car zoomies with some trick stuff. I saw some of Roy Miersch's zoomies in there and they looked nice. Maybe talk to Harold Jr. at Ming, hes involved with Embee.

is the 1600 degree stuff polishable?
i had always understood that the polishable ceramic is good to 1300degrees, and if you want higher temp capable, it has to be the flat finish ceramics, those are the ones that can go to 1600. i.e. flat black, flat red, flat blue,flat grey.
just wondering if they have come up with polished ceramic than can go higher temp before it burns, our buggy headers get burnt spots at the outsides of the exhaust bends.

Don't use jet hot. It sucks. Tony, Your vinyl is being weeded as we speak and will be in Big D's hands this afternoon.

For super cheap budget I have bought the Ceramic lookin 1600 degree spray bomb. I haven't used it on a boat, but I did spray a light coat on my black hooker headers, they haven't faded at all since I've done it, or burn off or anything, quite surprised I was. But what can I say I'm a poor white boy:devil:

its kinda like that but we have a new clear that goes over it that brings the shine out.

Thanks jr,
For the contact and phone number for the headers coating.
:messedup:
I finally got my new parts from the manufacturer and they are awesome.
The bowl is very thick, much thicker than the original bowl and the pop off valve was fixed also. Thanks to Roy Miersch, the manufacturer.
I want to take this time to thank those who were involved in the re-fitting and massaging processes.
Thanks to Aggressor Jet Drive – Dave Jones for the quick response to the special request.
Thanks to Cyclone Speed and Marine – Jim Brock for the weekend work making the bowl flow better and help with the installation process.
Thanks to MPD for cutting the ride plate (I poped up without calling and Jack McClure stopped what he was doing and helped me)

nice, now they can look better longer.
have you guys figured out the endure shine stuff that edelbrock uses, and if so, how does it hold up for general parts use?
a guy at a speed shop said it is a ceramic
