Just my two cents, I had a pipe coated by Jet-Hot ceramic coatings. As I do not drive my van everyday and park it on the lawn (Yeah, the wife loves that) rust was a significant problem. I had the front header pipe coated and figured that I would see how it lasted. To their credit, the gus at Jet Hot did a great job on the pipe and warned me that it would last longer than stock, but it would not be rust proof. After a year of being on the van, it shows only minor wear. No rust. Some pitting on the outside, but looks close to new. It looks like I could get at least three years out of it.

I ones I have are aluminized steel. This is a corrosion preventative treatment. I have never heard of this part in stainless. Just FYI. Thanks, Ken Wilford John 3:16 http://www.vanagain.com Phone: (856)-327-4936 Fax: (856)-327-2242

Does anyone know if anyone anywhere manufactures a Stainless Steel J-pipe for the 1.9L Wasserboxer? (Preferably WITH the pre-drilled/tapped O2 sensor hole) If so, does anyone know the approximate price? With the normal aftermarket j-pipes from Bus Depot selling for $80, you could probably save money by replacing one of these every 10 years but the stainless exhaust still intrigues me. |
