Also, here is a look at extreme sterling coated headers. Pretty aren't they?

This is Kooks PT# 6600-EX coated in Extreme Steling coating. Also picture is the bolts, O2 Extensions, and Alumium Gaskets you get with the headers.

Up close and personal with the coating. I call it 7/8's chrome. It is not as brilliant and clear..but unless you less than a foot away you would never know.



This is the inside of the collector. All the coatings we do are done inside and out for extra thermal protection and coating longevity. The outside coating is polished, where the inside is not.


The complete package! This is the most popular combo we sell. It is Kooks 6600-EX (w/Coating), and Kooks 3 x 2.5" Crossover PT# 6608S (uncoated). This picture is great because it shows how much better the coated finish looks compared to the plain welded stainless steel X-pipe. Before the coating process, Jet Hot cleans the headers, and will remove and weldslag or imperfections they can without damaging the product.

On another note, we do not recommend coating the crossover because the extra thickness it adds makes it very hard to slide the extension pipes on the X-pipe. Also, once the exhaust is under the car, and out the engine bay the coating has done it's thermal job.

This whole setup runs only $1,699.58 w/ Free Coating and Shipping and is in stock ready to ship today! It should be the best price out there for this coated setup.
