Default Header coating

I'm trying to find someone, preferrably in the midwest, that will do a GOOD job of heat coating the inside of my Stainless Works headers. Jet-hot won't do just the inside. I talked to Swaintech, but they will give absolutely no garauntee on their worksmanship.
Any ideas?

Default Re: Header coating (sacarmic)

I've found little value in the heat coatings for my headers. running road course track events with 20-30 minute sessions, the coating is pretty much gone after just a few sessions. I've had 2 sets and they've burned off consistantly after running @ WOT for a few laps.

If you are not running road course track events...do you really need the coating, except maybe for appearance?
