Jet-Hot Direct Headers?

Hey all,

I just got an email quote from Jet-Hot for a set of smog legal headers for $399 Shipped including y pipe. This sounds too good to be true, so It most likely is. Does anybody have any experience with these?

They are 1 5/8" primaries with 2 1/2" collectors.

I'm worried about the fit of these mainly. The last thing I want to do is have to grind on my brand new shiny headers to get them to fit right. I was leaning towards getting some SLPs and trial fitting them (making any neccessary modifications) before sending them off to have them coated somewhere.

Any quality-but-good-price places to send headers to have coated if I go that route? I'm mainly concerned with a good product and excellent customer service...

thanks
Clem

I just got an email back from them. I had replied asking for what brand they were and if they were warranted for good fit.

The reply is that they are Dynomax brand. I know Dynomax isn't bad (I actually worked on a racing team with a guy who had designed some of their products). Does anybody have experience with the fit and quality of the Dynomax headers for our cars?

Thanks
Clem

If it makes you feel better, he told me they'd only sold about 20 sets so far...

It might be a good deal? Anyone...anyone?

I have Jet-Hoat coated TES and if I had to do it over again I'd get SLP stainless and not coat them. I had some rust start showing up about a year after I had them put on. But that coating does help keep the heat in though cause 2 of my spark plug wires set right on them and no melting.
