Thumbs up After getting the header back from Jet-Hot

Overkill box...


with some serious packing material...no worries at all about ANY header coming back unharmed!



Like I said, a slightly duller finish. I bet most people wouldn't even notice it was coated at first glance.





Coated on the outside and inside:

I too am looking forward to hearing the review. By the way, what did it run to have the header coated ?

Under $200.00 to have it coated, and IMHO, $$$ well spent. No signs of discoloration anywhere after driving it so far. I'm thrilled.

As for performance, I like it much better than the Megan Header I used to have in there.

It seemed to me like all the power in the Megan header was way up high in the rpm band and you had to really work the engine to keep it there, whereas the J's Racing header seems to have better mid range power and that is exactly what I wanted as my car is a daily commuter.

Once again this is all seat of the pants observation by me, YMMV.

My next move is to dump off the Fujitsubo Power Getter Cat-Back I currently have for the J's Racing catback...still waiting on my order from AJ Racing.

Sorry no dyno available, I believe it has been dyno'ed by others on the internet for at least +9 HP.

I'm happy with that.

did you have any fitment issues with the J's header and the stock CAT? or are you running catless? I hear this header wont fit the USDM fit properly but I may have been misinformed.

did you notice any power/torque loss lower in the RPM band? I am trying to get a header that will give me the most gains across the entire RPM band. I know J's makes GREAT stuff but not a lot of info around about it.
