hey paul if i were you i would have had the extractors hpc coated looks heaps better and dramaticly cuts down the heat in the bay

HPC or Jet hot coating looks awesome, my old man just put some on his hatch but they it is costly

The HJ is coming along nicely Simpson

Procelin Coating Needs to be done before the pipes are used fro the first time, the metalurgy of the metal changes and it will just not work.

HPC, Comp Coating or Jet Hot Coating Can be done before or after the Pipes have been used.

mine were used then i got them hpc coated cost me $500 and worth every penny

FAT-245 · 31-07-2008, 06:33 AM

Yes Hopefully I can talk the exhaust shop into doing mine....

So paul, you going with the old school heat wrap or the new school bling bling heat proof coatings?

Axles can be a real pain in the ****, i recently busted both of my Vn commy axels in my nine inch at the same time, Ive gone back to some origonail ford axels for the moment, ill be upgrading like you as soon as i can aford it. And praying evry time i hit the go pedal untill i do get some 35 spline moseirs.

i thought about the jetcoating stuff but i crapped my self when i got quoted, so $50 bucks for paint will do.

I don't have inner guards in my bay so under bonnet heat isn't really a prob

thanks chevlx it feels like i broke the diff ages ago haha

i know what you mean drevil i was going to just through a pair of standards back in, but i decided to wait and save up for a set of billets, trying to do things once this time (not like all the other times i have done things)

and ordered the pro ratchet shifter yesterday should be here today or monday with a bit of luck

Hey Paul,

I Recently Painted My Exhaust and it has Stayed Finally without Flaking!

Just a few tips (if you dont' already know)

Wash them down with Strong Degreaser and Make sure you Wash them Properly,

Leave them in the Sun to Dry and get hot, then when they are hot, hang them in the sun and paint..Generally I use two Can's on the Pipes (ive got a 6) with a 10min period inbetween

I did this and mine came up perfect!
