There are much better TBC's available on the market over Jet-Hot.
A lot of people go Jet-Hot because they are one of the volume leaders in the automotive segment of TBC's.
I saw the shine so it looked like a straight appearance coating.

Please post other "better" competitors...I am curious..thx (BTW shine <> CRAP..it = Bonus TBC
I will let you know if it flakes or doesnt do its job...but based on their reputation..I think I am going to be hard pressed to post a negative...TBD
In particular competitors in the 1300° range w/ the beauty of this baby....
Jet-Hot offers other coatings in the 2400° range but in the grey mat finish...which I am considering for my Hot Side K26 Hotside and center housing on my new Garrett TO4E/K26 Hybrid

FWIW - Nothing comes close to 'polishing' an exhaust manifold ....

In the '80s I ran a business developing & supplying 'fuel system' tuning kits for road, rally & race cars.
Working closely Weber Carburettors the company designed and scientifically evaluated inlet & exhaust manifolds for the likes of Cosworth, Ford Motorsport, DTV & Lotus.
It has been my experience that nothing comes close to a well polished [internally] exhaust manifold in the quest for maximum power efficiency. Hot gases passing over an uneven surface are better able to transfer heat TO that surface. No exception, it's a basic law of physics.
The process and materials used in the making of 'cast' manifolds results in an uneven surface internally .... a surface that 'captures' heat. No amount of coating will alter that less it is applied so thickly that it 'smooths over' the surface .... thereby reducing it's volumetric area and efficiency.
Inlet manifolds, now that's another story ;-)
At the end of the day it's all down to cost. Polishing isn't cheap. But then again .... perfection rarely ever is!<ul><li><a href="http://www.unicomsystems.co.uk">http://www.unicomsystems.co.uk</a</li></ul>
