i see you went with the extreme sterling...what about the sterling silver?

will the manifold get hotter than 1300?

from an e-mail reply:
Jet Hot has recently introduced some NEW coatings which are shown on the
web site. The newest is called EXTREME STERING (MC-15). The EXTREME
STERLING is a coating that is very similar to the Jet Hot 1300 sterling
silver but has a slight duller finish and has an orange peel look. The
texture of the coating isn't as smooth as the sterling silver, there is
some slight texture. This coating can handle 1450F without
discoloration (vs. the sterling silver which is 1300F). After 1450F, the
coating will become dull/grey but will not fail till 1700F. After 1700F,
the coating would blister/flake off(vs. sterling silver which fails
above 1300F). It has the same corrosion resistance as the sterling
silver. It slightly better insulation qualities than the sterling silver
coating. The Extreme Sterling coating will add $50 more than the 1300
sterling silver and $5 more per foot.

Looking back I probably would have done them in black, but as far as the Sterling Silver it is a little more bling but the manifold aren't the pretty looking. I just wanted something to keep the engine bay temps down.

Thats been my experience with the JetHot coating. Never had it flake, pit or become 'ugly' but it will loose the luster first at the bends then later all over.

Yeah. No complaints though. Just something I noticed as I put more and more miles on the truck.
