In keeping with our high-tech thermal management philosophy, we sent our existing SLP 13/4-inch shorty headers (part No. 30003, $450) to Jet-Hot Coatings for their "Jet-Hot Sterling" coating process ($179). Jet-Hot was central to our goal of managing heat in the engine compartment and maximizing the effectiveness of our cooling system. The benefits for a high-powered street engine are less heat soak, lower intake air charge temperature, improved exhaust scavenging, resistance to rust and corrosion and improved looks. The Jet-Hot process consists of a thermal cleaning followed by blasting with an aluminum oxide media. The headers are coated inside and out, then cured at room temperature. This is followed by a 45-minute blast at 650F. The entire process is repeated again: coating, curing then baking. The final coating is an industry-leading three mils thick and is resistant to temperatures of up to 1350F.
