Notes About Header Coatings
TA Offers Raw, Chrome and Jet-Hot levels of coating.
RAW is bare metal. The reason we dont offer the black painted headers is because
the standard black that is used is not heat resistant. They look good out of the box, but
when you run them the paint begins to burn off, making more of a mess and requiring
removal and stripping to get your headers to look good again. If using the RAW version
we recommend cleaning with solvent to remove all oil, sanding and/or scuffing then
spraying with a high temp paint such as VHT.
CHROME. The chrome coating available on headers is just the nickel process. For
the $35 dollar upgrade they will not be like a triple plated bumper. Once installed the
chrome headers will present well. They will discolor some at the exhaust ports and over
time the chrome will deteriorate. Having said all of that, there are many people that are
very happy with their chrome headers and have gotten several years of use from them.
JET-HOT is the premier header coating. Prevents the metal from rust and reduces
engine compartment temps by as much as 100 degrees. In the long run JET-HOT is the
best value. They will look good for years and the Sterling color looks as close to chrome
as a paint coating can.
Certain header applications may require minor modifications during installation,
in these cases we recommend pre-fitting the headers prior to having the Jet Hot
coating applied, please inquire when ordering headers.
