I have had my Hooker Long Tubes since the car was new (2002 NBM TA) and the Jet Hot Coating has held up very well for 45k miles or so, except at the front tube on both sides right next to the heads. It looks like the coating kind of eveporated there.

I got very good performance and very good wear from them other than that.

I bought them when the Hookers first came out in 02 and sold my Grotyohanns from my fitst (1999 Arctic White Mecham TA) car.

The new car runs stronger with the same mods as my old car, with the exception of the header swap. Could be the 2002 cam, could be the headers. Could be a combination. Could also be the LS1 Edit job is better on the new one, as well.
