As you'll recall, I gutted my cat and sent the works off to Jet-Hot to be coated with their "Sterling" product. But once I got it all back together, the contrast with the Erion's original chrome was horrible.

So...took the muffler apart (no fun), sent the chromey bits to Jet-Hot, and just reassembled and repacked with fiberglass this weekend (also no fun). I rotated the black can 90 degrees to hide the rivets that used to hold the (tacky) Erion Racing label plate. Now I'm finally done with the exhaust...so I HOPE I don't come across a Erion or TBR header system at this stage of the game!

It's so nice to know I'll never be "blue" again! Or that weird yellowy/purpley color that the tail outlet was always turning. And wouldn't come off....

First pic is Jetted headers and chrome muffler parts. Yuck!

Chrome looks awful with Jet-Hot


This is the completed deal. the checkered flag is a "static cling" thing from cyclegraphics.com. Goes on and off whenever you like. Kinda fun.

Everything Coated


A closeup of the system. Done!

Here's the tail end. Nice and shiny down there! Not for long, but at least the core will never rust or rot out now that it's coated, too.

Don't drool....just send your stuff to Jet-Hot! biggrin.gif

Come to think of it..I have a bone stock set of pipes that's just WAITING for someone to buy from me and send to Jet-Hot. All boxed up and ready to go. And I have a stock muffler that would be free if you needed it as a temporary silencer, since a member gave it to me free for the cost of shipping. I used that stocker while my Erion parts were away.

I'd give my pipes away, except that I paid a member here $225 for his (those are now the Gutted & Jetted ones you see), so I'd like to recoup a little of my expenditure. Since they're 00/01 pipes, they don't have the desireability of the earlier non-cat pipes, of course, but they're fine for Jetting!

Make me an offer. Here they are, behind the Jetted stuff.

Looks good in the sunlight!


Oh, here's the disassembled muffer parts, in ugly chrome, just before shipping.

Thanks, yeah, me likey, too. It's really a good product. Lasts forever, zero maintenance....I've been a Jet-Fan for years.

I guess I have to change my avatar...it's all DARK in the exhausty pipey region of this picture! ohmy.gif

Send this pic to Erion and spout off about how happy you are with their product, will they put your picture up on their website, etc, etc, etc.

First thing they'll ask is: "Where is our logo???" ohmy.gif


I like it, it's understated. Too big/flashy logos are yukky!

Fron their website, this was what was on my pipe....and I removed it almost instantly. Plus, the black paint or etching or printing was coming off. Looked trrrrrible. Why do I wanna advertise for them? I'm REALLY tickled that I thought to rotate the can when reassemling, so the 4 rivets are now "under" and unseen. Besides, their black powdercoating is like liquid coal, so I don't want to hide that with a big aluminum label plate.

Erion label plate, too big, too flashy!
