I have the Moss header on my A, and am very pleased with the result.
I did have mine ceramic coated, although not by Jet Hot but by a
local business in Nebraska, and am very pleased with the result. I
have had no difficulty with the slip joint, but YMMV. I am running
the traditional twin outlet glass pack which I got from Moss, and am
always getting comments on how good the car sounds.
