ok guys....

Im thinking to have my exhaust manifold (jet hot) coated black, but question now is what to do with intake manifold.

OR

Was considering having the exhaust manifold & muffler jet coated "polished" gosh that could look amazing... then just black intake?

www.jet-hot.com

any ideas?

I'd do the exhaust in jet hot black and the intake to match the block. (Just personal opinion....)

Ceramic stays put and stays shiny. I have seen Jaguar Exhaust manifolds that were 30 yrs old and looked new. Jim

I think to do that right you should do both?

Exhaust & Intake then?

I had the exhaust manifold ceramic coated red on my 12v Cummins. I know for a fact it saw over 1700* on occasions when dynoing it, and pulling it. The coating never cracked, and never faded much. Your tractor will never see anywhere close to those egt's. My vote would be to ceramic coat both the intake and exhaust.

Hey Bill good luck with the pulling this year! Don't think Slo will pull with the H I gave him.

Is Jet-Hot a chain/franchise thing or do you have to ship your parts to one of the three locations on the website?

I don't have anything to pull John. I have sold both my pulling tractors, my truck, and about every other toy since the lady hit us back in January and I can't work.
