Jethot 2000
I went searching for this stuff, sounded really good till I got to this

web page:

Couple of points.

1. That isn't JH2K, it's cermachrome (the lower temp stuff). The 2000 only
comes in flat colors - grey, black, and blue. It's a rough surface texture
too. I did my research before spending the $.

2. Almost any coating when subjected to severe thermal shock will separate
from the substrate. Note subject - after a bath in the creek. Looking at the
rest of the site I would have to assume he went into the creek with the
motor spun up and hot. Cold water + hot pipe = bad thermal shock. I'm
surprised he didn't crack the metal of the pipe or warp something.

3. I don't plan on driving my car into a creek... I hope you don't plan on
flying into one :) If you or I do end up in the creek, I believe we have
worse worries than the exhaust systems.

I have almost 15,000 miles on my downpipe - and it's still perfect. I'll see
if I can grab the digicam this weekend from work and I will take some
pictures of it.
