Jet-Hot Coating. Does It Make A Difference?

[@zookskustomz]

Great video Sir. I dropped off my Header Pipe today. The hospitality was at a very high level at Jet-Hot. This is an amazing American company and I can't wait to see my parts in a few weeks.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

Rock on! Thanks for watching and of course, let me know how it turns out. -Madd Man

[@ericweber1969]

Great video, I really appreciated hearing about the company, seeing the inside of their operation, and the incredible results.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, I must say, the results were ridiculous!! Those numbers are crazy. One of the single best upgrades by far. -Madd Man

[@t_c5266]

I'd like to see this done again with no exhaust wraps also compared. The wraps themselves are insulators so the heat has nowhere to conduct to (especially after you've stopped the bike) except to the rest of the exposed components. So you'll get abnormally high heat in the flanges, head, sensors, etc. I'm curious how close the stock pipes get to the coated pipes. In theory they should actually radiate far more heat than the ceramics. With the mirrored ceramic coating on there, you'll have a lower radiation absorption, and a moderate emissivity. Which means that the heat will be retained mostly by the gas. This should increase backpressure and decrease performance. So a dyno run of all 3 configurations would be interesting. another test you could do is paint the outside of the headers black, which would increase radiation, therefore cooling down the hot gases of your exhaust much more which should yield an increase in performance, and decrease in engine temps

[@billybossgaming9594]

Man, thank you so much for making this extremely informative video. I've been thinking about having my headers, downpipe and manifold jet-hot coated and this is just making me more comfortable with the cost. I'm a north carolinian and it's good to see that they have a location in NC. Thanks man.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

You are more than welcome my friend. They are a great company with even better service, -Madd Man

[@tomstrickland6002]

I just made a visit to Jet Hot up in Burlington and dropped off a set of used headers and a Y pipe. Brian, one of the sales guys, showed me the complete process that my headers will go through. Nice facility. I had a set of headers done for my Corvette almost 8 years ago and they still look new. I can't wait to see the results of these headers and how they will perform and look on our rebuilt 383 small block that we're putting in a 3rd gen Camaro. Thanks for the tour, Brian. See you in 3 weeks.

getting my headers done by jet hot in the same finish as we speak for my jeep xj. suffers bad from heat soak. i hope i get blown away like you did! thank you, great video.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

You will notice decreased under-hood temperatures for sure. Now when you say heat soak, do you mean spark? Fuel? Is it carbureted or fuel injected? Year XJ? -Madd Man

[@tbenzo300]

@@BradTheMaddMan it's a 2000 with the 4.0 and the design hasn't changed in decades from the carb says. Intake directly over the exhaust, cooking the fuel in the injectors with radiation. They even share the same gasket they're so close

I would look at a few things. Check the resistance of the fuel injectors cold and then hot, as well as the coils cold and hot. -Madd Man

[@johnrochester4164]

Just stumbled across this great video. I've been looking at Jet-Hot for a long while now and I'm a little concerned about fitment problems and possible issues with fuel/Oxygen mix ratios after coating. My mechanic has suggested I avoid coating the area near the slip fittings but It looks like Jet-Hot coats everything. Should I be concerned about my ECU mapping or fitment if I were to have my exhaust done or am I just over thinking this? I ride a 2016 Ducati Scrambler, which does run hot.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

Excellent question. You should have absolutely no problems, whatsoever. The coating is thin enough, that it makes no noticeable difference in fitment at all. Thanks for commenting and of course, for watching -Maddman

[@johnrochester4164]

@@BradTheMaddManSo, I pulled the trigger and got my exhaust ceramic coated around October 2023 and I finally got the opportunity for a ride last weekend , June 2024 in 80 degree weather in stop and go traffic. I can say for sure that I’ve noticed a significant difference at stop lights and just overall reduced heat output. I don’t have any measurements to share unfortunately but it wasn’t even something I fully realized until after I got back home. I would definitely recommend Jet-Hot coating for any rider looking for more comfort around the thighs on hot days, especially if you happen to ride a Ducati Scrambler which run hot! They were very responsive and answered all my questions during my lengthy fact finding faze. One downside? They never followed up with me after this project was completed and returned to my mechanic. About two weeks turn around time. Everything was coated inside and out, packed extremely well and looks fantastic but it would have been nice to get a call. (4.5 stars)

My 2-1 Supertramp SuperMeg header pipe for my Harley Sportster XL1275 HP is being processed as of 0824/2019. I am getting the internal and the external with Extreme 1300. Did you have your header pipe coated internally also?

[@BradTheMaddMan]

Yes I did. -Madd Man

[@michaelweston2285]

what difference does it make if your pipes get discolored? leave the wrap on and you don't have to see it. the only thing that should be of concern is if the metal structure is becoming compromised.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

That's the thing, the wraps hold moisture and that moisture will rust the header. Especially if kept outside. -Madd Man

[@michaelweston2285]

@@BradTheMaddMan some wraps can hold moisture. there are wraps you can put on dry and spray a silicone sealant over that keeps moisture out. but the pipes blueing has nothing to do with that and isn't an indicator that the structural integrity is being weakened. this is purely a cosmetic thing that doesn't matter if you keep the wrap on.

[@alfredoarreola7579]

@@michaelweston2285 the temperature definitely shows it would wear out faster. It was hundreds of degrees hotter. That's a lot more expansion. That's how you start getting cracks

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

@@michaelweston2285 yes, I would say appearance and good looks are the number one reason most people coat their parts.... with the added bonus of lower under-hood temperatures and possibly longer life of parts.. but mostly for the good looks.

[@zookskustomz]

​@@baby-sharkgto4902 I'm having a Harley header pipe done right now. My reasons for getting it done was for the lower temperatures. I could have picked any color, but I went with the polished look. You probably won't be able to see 5% to maybe 8% of my pipe when installed, but being coated and polished inside should help with the flow as well. It's very impressive to see in person.

[@DoubtingThomas333]

The reflectivity of the ceramic coating is throwing off the temp gun. Believe me it reads much higher than your temp gauge registers. It would be pretty much the same temp as the uncoated pipe.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

Not true. It reade's the same without the lazer. If you use a physical type thermometer, the temps are still much lower. -Madd Man

[@BradTheMaddMan]

Think about it, chrome is more reflective than the coating -Madd Man

[@K3PO]

Somewhat true, but even the engine head temps were lower with no coating change. The only difference it would make would be a minimal difference compared to the actual difference in temp.

NEVER use header wrap if you don't want to get your pipes rusted out1 Just google "header wrap rusting", you'll see! Mine rusted out on my bike.

[@trialsbikeguy]

Ok.....I have a vintage Honda motorcycle. I have a good used exhaust I purchased off ebay. The exhaust is totally hidden from sight when mounted on bike. I am NOT concerned with looks I'm concerned with internal rusting and rotting again like the original did. I have a guy in Memphis 1 hr from me says he can ceramic coat entire exhaust for $250. His process only coats the outside....soooo I'm trying to understand the difference in Jethot and my guys ceramic coating....Is the only difference that Jethot will coat the inside ????????

I’m sorry man….. but I find this hard to believe. I’m gonna have to call bs on this one. How do we know you ran the motor the same time frame? The head wasn’t coated so no way the head is that much cooler.

[@BradTheMaddMan]

It's up to you . I can only say that I gave a real and 100% honest review. With the pipe not putting out as much heat, it equates to less head temperature. Hope that helps. -Maddman
