Several years back, I bought one of Ben's stainless mufflers and squirreled it away. John (here in Huntsville) welded on a O2 sensor bung for me. He also CNC'd new stainless flanges and welded them in place on the heat exchangers.
On a trip out to North Carolina, I dropped it off at Jet Hot along with a set of used 2.0 SSIs. I think they came out nice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-6-1750856917.1.jpeg) The heater hardware had 30+ years of baked on grease and road grime. Two scrub brushes, 3 cans of brake cleaner, buckets of simple green later, they were clean enough for the bead blasting cabinet. I had a small start-up powder coater take a stab at the heater hardware. They did a reasonable job for the price. Certainly good enough for the bottom of the car.

QUOTE(FlacaProductions @ Jun 25 2025, 07:22 AM)  woah - looks great. will the finish stay that shiny on the muffler? I think so. Jet Hot offers coatings with crazy temperature ratings. My intent was to help all the parts last as long as possible. The chrome finish seemed logical to help maximize the limited light when working under the car. |

I love my "Ben" muffler and i'm cool with the patina it's developed but if it could be all clean like yours and stay that way....hmmmm. I need to pull it and get a bung welded in anyway...(mission creep...)
