That’s my theory.
1496-988-0001 is the part number for the S480 with the 1.58 housing. I’ve got 1.32 and 1.45 housings too if that one is laggy.
I believe the company that made them is out of business. I think it was just a side project anyway.
Edit: just called the guy that sent me the pic. Some guy was making them out of his garage. Was cutting the pieces at work and don’t think he does it anymore.

I’ll trade you for a JUNK VOLVO with a POS 871 that idles like a 2cyl John Deere for any W9.

Sneaky Germans and their sketchy designs

If I was you I would have quit a long time ago. It’s bad enough having to touch those occasionally but no way I would daily.
What is that?

GAW!!!! I want that coating so bad!
Having trouble finding a shop around me to do this. They have coatings, but wont take the heat.

The coatings are the same, I believe everyone uses Cerakote but to get that shine they have to have a polisher that is very expensive. The polished doesn’t hold up as good as the black so regardless of who does it you will have to have it redone every few years. Green scotch-brite brings it back somewhat but it’s not spray and forget, it requires work to keep the shine.

Same chit. Their polished won’t hold up any better. Everyone will tell you for high heat you need the black if you want it to last. I’ve had stuff coated at 3 different places and it all ends up the same. The honest ones will tell you before you do it.
“High Temp Ceramic" which is typically rated at 1700F - 2000F+ and comes in many colors BUT Bright. All bright ceramics are rated at 1100F - 1300F”

Swain Tech told me the only color they could do was white. That is the color of their proprietary coating.
I'd be fine with black at this point. The 1100-1300F coating would be fine by me. Every shop I've talked to says there coating is only good to like 400F or 600F.
That's the color of pure ceramic. They can also get it a lot thicker than most.

Lmao, anyone can spray it as thick as they want, it’s just like powder coat. You hang the part, spray it and bake it, it’s not as technical as you must think it is.

I guess it depends on what the user wants. But from what I understand the shiny stuff can't be as thick it will flake and peel off. The off white (pure ceramic) stuff can be thicker and withstand higher heat and more heat cycles. I know people that have had the swaintech stuff on for years and years and it looks brand new.
If anyone knows otherwise please let me know.
