Volks: Same thing happened to me JP,On another project(1995),had 16valve
intakes manifolds,valve cover,exhaust manifold,and down pipe JET-HOT coated
it looked great until I drove it,the engine still looks grand,but from the
exhaust manifold back is pitted and rusty. I was going to do my vanagon
exhaust but changed my mind after seeing this,and used some high temp
paint,after glass beading exhaust and cleaning. I'm still looking for a
better solution.anybody?.............Bernie Campoli,Panama City,FL   1987

I had an entire Syncro exhaust JET-HOT coated and it is now rusting in
several places. While they will recoat it under warranty, the pipe
removal, vehicle down time and shipping is my problem. I will not use
JET-HOT again. High temp spray paint will have to do................
