Hi! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Chris Morris and I represent Jet Hot Coatings. We have recently been set up as a new vendor with the Bimmerforums.com. We have already worked with a few members to provide a high quality metallic ceramic coating at the best prices possible. Jet Hot is a company that makes our own metallic ceramic coatings. We manufacture our own coatings and do not sell it to any other companies. We have two coating locations, one in Mississippi and the other is AZ.

All Bimmerforum.com members get an automatic 20% discount for any parts shipped to JET-HOT for coating! :)

As a brief summary, Jet Hot coats many different parts from headers to suspension parts. Our most popular finish is called sterling silver. This coating has a bright “chrome like” finish. We also carry a flat black, blue and cast grey finish. The coating runs up 1300 degrees. Unlike chrome or stainless steel, it will not discolor, chip, peel or flake off. The coating also helps to drop the skin temps on headers by 30% or better while helping to increase horse power 1-3%. We offer a lifetime corrosion warranty on all new parts plus a 3year finish warranty on new or used parts.

Jet Hot also offer name brand headers with our coating. As an introduction, we would like to start a GP for the NEW JET-HOT headers. The headers are being offer with the sterling silver and fully coated in & out. THE GP WILL START TODAY (6/8/04) AND RUN TILL 6/29/04.

You may already know us as a leader in the high temperature metallic ceramic coatings field, but now JET HOT has taken the next step and is offering you factory direct coated headers at substantial savings. These headers fit 92-98 E36 with the M50/M52 engines, aka 325, 328, Z3 2.8, Z3 2.5 & M3.

These are high quality parts that were computer designed for optimum horsepower and torque, as well as easy installation. These headers bolt right up to the existing head pipes, and utilize all factory emissions equipment. Not only will you pick up extra power, but they will not set off a “check engine” light.

To ensure that these headers do not rust out on you, we have applied our exclusive Sterling formula to the inside and outside of the headers. This coating was originally designed for use in US military weapons systems, and now we have re-engineered it for automotive use. As a result the coating prevents corrosion, extends part life, reduces engine compartment temperatures and looks almost like chrome.

We are offering the JET HOT coated headers for $574+s&h to the door. We have found that competing models sell for $799-1199, so this is a great opportunity to add the performance you want at a price that you can afford. It is the best investment you can make for your Ultimate Driving Machine. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a cal at 1-800-432-3379 or visit our web site www.jet-hot.com. Our email address is chris@jet-hot.com or todd@jet-hot.com.

To place an order, please call 1-800-432-3379 and hit extension 112 or 110.

Sincerely,
Chris
:cool:

What kind of headers are they? I didn't see anything on your website for BMW's. Can you post some pics of the headers? I might be interested :)

Thanks,

JET HOT BMW headers (http://www.jet-hot.com/bmwe36.htm)

Can prior used headers be sent and coated or can you only coat unused parts ?

We can certainly prep and coat your new or used parts. The normal retail price to coat a set of V6 headers,in&out with the Jet Hot sterling silver finish,is $195+s&h back. You would get a 20% discount off this price. We also offer a flat black,blue or grey finish for $20 more. We normally need 4-5 days to do the coating process plus the shipping time back.Let me know if there are any questions.
Thanks

Would these fit a 1997 528i since it is the same motor?

Any dyno sheets to show the gains? I'm interested in seeing what it does for an OBD-II M3 (3.2L) engine. Thanks!

Yea, any documented gains?

And how hard is it to install headers like these (anyone can answer this one)

We found on the dyno, the coated headers averaged 10-12 torque and 8-10 HP gains.

beanboy -- Installing the headers is do-able. Problem is, many of the nuts are hard as hell to get at. you will be turning them 1/16 of a turn at a time...Takes forever and requires you to be as patient as you are a contortionist, but it is do-able.

These headers look pretty fricken sweet and at a GREAT price. I wish I had not already installed another vendors or I would be all over this. Maybe I will ditch mine and get these...I like the idea of them being coated in and out....they will look new for years! Also, Jet Hot's reputation is a very good one, so that is a big plus too.

Welcome to the board Jet Hot. Glad you decided to join us. Tim

These headers have the hole for the air pump for obd-II cars is this correct? Also are a direct bolt up to the stock cats?

I should be getting these headers from bimmerworld in about a week or two. I'll do a baseline dyno, then one with these headers on a dynojet and report the results. My car has the whole schrick cam setup so hopefully the gains will be impressive.

Jethot: What kind of car was used as the test car for the dyno? Was it stock, or modded (and if you know, which mods).

Really appreciate this, and this is VERY interesting! Especially if the gains are real, as most people have not been particularly happy with e36 headers up until this point.

Thanks,
Parker

That would be a yes for both your questions. It's my fault for not being more informative about the headers. There are two style headers (same price). One is for the obd-I and the other is for obd-II. Both are set up set up for th emission hook ups. If there are any other questions, let me know.

Thanks

The car tested was 1997 2.8L Z3 with no mods with a 5 speed.

JetHot, I'm interested in your headers, any dyno's done on FI cars? such as AA S/C? I know a lot of people interested in a header application and dyno results would help. Need a test car?

Guys, I'm glad to see Jet Hot get into the game, but these are the same headers as JP/Evo/TMS headers, which came out over a year ago at a much higher price. The install is purported to be near impossible (took a tech 2 days). Gains are purported to be minor.

Why would someone coat a suspension part??

^^Huh???

^^Huh???

In his first post...He said they coat everything from headers to suspension parts... :dunno

Maybe peeps might want a sterling silver 'chrome like' or jet black finish to their suspension parts.

The JetHot sterling silver has a chrome like finish. We have many people who like to coat parts to keep them looking good and not rusting or staining. We have coated parts like intakes, suspension parts, brackets, etc. We have found powder coating is ok but can stain and chip off. Chrome is ok but is has the same problems plus it's more expensive. We also offer a flat black, blue or cast grey finish.

Thanks

The Jet Hot headers are simular to those headers but with a few small changes to the design and quality. With any header install, the install can be hard. Our install didn't take 2 days but it did take the better part of one day. You may have seen the gains I posted already, they were ok. With a replacement style header, the gains are never great as compared to other headers were the exhaust needs to be modified. Our purpose was to make a better header for a lower price. We found so many headers priced so high. We had hoped to make the headers and offer them Jet Hot coated for a better price.

Hey, I can respect that. :buttrock

Good luck w/ the group buy.

u said htey fit 92-98 E36, so how about my 99 m3 ?

sorry if this is a dumb question

Are the OBDII headers (for E36 M3) CARB legal for us California people?

The headers are set up to pass the emission test. We did not get the headers certified with a carb number.

We have not test fitted into a 99 M3. We have gotten different feedback from a few customers about the 99. We have been told yes by some and no by others. I'll have to do some research on this question.

Thanks

Bummer - Probably wouldn't pass the visual then. And I've heard they're quite a PITA to get in and out. Not something I'd want to deal with every two years.

I dont understand why they wouldnt fit a 99 M3 it is the same engine and set up as a 98 M3. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

So is the price $574 after or before the 20%?

$574 or $460?

JetHot, is the 20% off valid for non-BMW headers? I have a Datsun 1600 Header I want to get coated. Thanks...Robert

The $574 would be your total price.

The retail price to coat a 4cyl style header ,fully coated in&out with the Jet Hot sterling silver finish,is $165+s&h back. Add $20 for the flat black, blue or grey finish. You would get a 20% discount off the retail price.Please let me know if there are any other questions.

How much do these weigh compared to stock?

I should be getting these headers from bimmerworld in about a week or two. I'll do a baseline dyno, then one with these headers on a dynojet and report the results. My car has the whole schrick cam setup so hopefully the gains will be impressive.

lard, Update?

And Chris, what about these fitting an MZ3?

TIA

Anyone dyno with these yet?

Jet Hot,
I got my Datsun 1600 header yesterday, looks great, and thanks for the discount...Robert

Don't suppose your selling coated headers and euro cats for the S54? Please say yes. :rolleyes:

Sorry, we don't carry those headers yet. If you purchase headers and need them coated, please keep Jet Hot in mind.

My '98 M3 has the TMS cam kit (OBD I intake, chip, injectors...). What sort of improvement can I expect with these headers in my modded car??

can we see some pics of some of your works?

FYI, EDGE is exploring becoming a dealer with Chris. We have a set on the way to dyno on my car on my dyno, so we know we can be consistent. We will happily post the results, probably sometime next week :buttrock

I have these headers on my automatic 95 325iC, it was my first and only performance mod so far. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it back (GF like to drive it to work when it's hot out). The coating on it is perfect and they fit just fine. Installation was pretty easy and it took me about 4 hours. It looks pretty hard but if you lift the car enough to crawl under there it's not very difficult. The most important thing is to take your time and you can do it without a scratch. The bolts are easy to get off with the stock manifolds, but it's a pain in the ass to get them on with the headers. That took about 3 of the 4 installation hours, you'll see why when I post the pics. Other than that the fit is as perfect as if they were made by BMW. If someone said it took 2 days was lying, had no mechanical skills, or worked on it for 2 hours per day. Also, I did it by myself in my driveway at night with a single droplight to see what I was doing. Anyway, the most important part is the performance gains. I haven't taken it to the dyno, and I don't plan to (unless you want to pay for it) but I did notice a big difference in acceleration. Anyone who has driven an automatic 325 and probably other similar models would have noticed that the low end sucks, but after adding these headers it seems to pull just as hard in the low end as it does after Vanos kicks in. If you've driven a stock one, you know that means a big difference. So, that said, I would recommend these to anyone who wants good headers that bolt to the stock cat pipe. Unfortunately I missed this sale, but I paid $634.81 for the headers and newer style gaskets plus shipping from bimmerworld so I don't feel too bad about it. Let me know if you have any other questions about the installation or if you want to see more pics.

Any dyno sheets? Erik L., Didn't you dyno these and found the gain wasn't a big when compared to the OBDII 96+ headers?
