my $485.00 dollars worth of swain tech coating - manifold, exhaust housing, downpipe, began cracking after only about 3 months. i don't know if its lasted longer for anyone else around here, but just be careful. i would not do it again.

don't they have warranty? I know Jet Hot has life time warranty against cracks and chips.

that's what i asked before i got the coatings. they said "well, ours is so much better...we've never had any problems...blahblahblah..." so, basically, no. i haven't called them yet to see what they'd do. i am too annoyed about it, and other things.
i will say, however, that before it craked it looked great. super-thick, and i'm sure functionally, it worked very well.
