Well, I FINALLY got it. After 3 weeks of waiting it came to the house yesterday. All I can say is WOW!! The finish on this thing is unreal....I almost don't want to put it on. It also came with a bag of header studs and some bolts. I know were the bolts go, but are these studs to replace the stock ones to prevent the leaking on the manifold? I was going to get some from NAPA but I'm not sure if these are the replacements or not?? I attached some pics for you guys....let me know what you think.

I had it done through Ninosport. You can order anything Jet-Hot coated if you let them know. They had a deal on the first 5 people who got one so I had to grab it.

No Jet Hot?

I didn't have this done to my Prochamber. I assume rusting is pretty much guarateed for me then? How much did it cost to have it coated?

I had the fear of it rusting that's why I had it done. It was only another $100 to get it coated. The coating MAC puts on their pipes comes off in no time. I've heard a lot of people sanding the pipe and painting it will high temp paint to prevent rust.

you will still need to buy the Napa studs, as the studs that came with the prochamber connect the prochamber to the catback if I remember correctly (or maybe to connect the two pieces of the prochamber together).

Another ? Since the pipe isn't stainless can it rust from the inside out? I've never had an H pipe that did, but I wanted to make sure. I've had some tail pipes and mufflers rust like that but never an H pipe.

NAPA part # 600-1819 is replacement studs for the drivers side exhaust manifold. You need to remove the drivers side studs and replace them with these two in the napa stud kit. This will allow you to tighten the flange down enough to prevent an exhaust leak.

Both sides do NOT need new studs...only the drivers side.
