Received my exhaust manifold back from Jet Hot. Very pleased with the speed, and the coating looks great. There is quite a bit of pitting in the manifold, but that was pre-existing. Eventually I may look for a manifold with less pitting, but I bought the car to drive. Jet Hot also offers a lifetime warranty on the coating, although the fine print states they will only re-coat it once.

One minor concern - I had asked them to mask off the well for the thermostatic choke, but they didn't. Other than maybe needing to adjust the choke, is there any reason to worry about this? Is that obtainable for replacement if I do need to replace it?

Also, when I pulled the manifold off, the washers and nuts were steel. Doing some research, it sounds like the factory composition was steel thick flat washers, steel lock washers, and brass nuts. I had previously thought it was thick brass washers and brass nuts. Any ideas which way is right?

Thanks!
