I really appreciate you responding to my concerns. I personally have used Jet-hot many times and was very pleased when they coated my metal intake, but very dissatisfied when they coated my header. The header inside was glass smooth, after they coated it there were "drips" and the inside was not smooth anymore. I also did this for an OEM NSX exhaust manifold that I had extrude honed. After I coated it with Jet-hot it was like I never extrude honed it. It was very rough on the inside.
On turbocharged cars if the inside coating flakes off it will go straight to the turbos and cause major damage, which is one of the reasons why Swain opted against coating the inside.
Many independent magazines has tested Swain to be the best. It lowered engine temps alot more than Jet-Hot 2000. Even Jet-Hot 2000 gives you pigment choices, and right there is a compromise between looks and functionality. Swain makes no such compromises. Its only white.
The warranty issue is something that still bothers me. If something does happen to the header and I have to go through the hassle that it was not the coating that caused it, that still might not be worth it. But I think comptech still reserves the right to void any warranty if its been tampered with whether it really does or not.
Ground control and Eibach void the warranty on my eibachs because I had it powdercoated another color, and they told me they would so it wasn't a surprise to me. Somehow I think comptech is the same.
If you can have Comptech give a written statement it will put that doubt to rest.
Thanks so much.
