I was just wondering who all is interested is a group buy or I guess I should say a hell of a deal on ceramic coating their exhaust. Preddy sent me a link to a shop that can get this done for a great price. If there is some interest I will set it up...sooooo give me your input.

Quick run down of ceramic coatings:
Exhaust manifolds can either be a cast iron, factory-type manifold or a tube steel header typically used in performance applications, though they are becoming very common in OEM applications. There are a variety of reasons for coating an exhaust manifold header.
#1 Corrosion protection. The manifold will live longer as well as look nicer. Whether it is for performance or show, coating an exhaust manifold is valuable to you.
#2 The coating is a thermal barrier, thus keeping heat within the manifold or header. There are a number of benefits for this. First, by keeping heat within the manifold, you're going to accelerate the exhaust gas velocity which reduces back pressure and reduces fuel contamination due to reversion. This is a performance benefit. Second, you'll reduce the surface temperature of the manifold. This means if a person comes in contact with it, they are less likely to be burned and leave skin behind. If there is a component close to it, it will not see as much heat as it would with an uncoated manifold. In addition, not as much heat will be radiated under the hood or into the engine compartment. This reduces the under hood temperature which, again, reduces the temperature of surrounding parts, such as, alternators and starters. It also reduces the amount of heat that can be drawn in through the carburetor, which is a secondary performance benefit. There are a variety of coatings that can be used on exhaust manifolds or headers
I got a quick quote from the shop and the said it be around 115 for duals.
Here's my sparks I just got redone. Sorry for the cell phone pics.

This is coated inside and out, FYI.

Is there an option for pipes only (headers and mid-pipes) for those of us with pre-PCed cans?

Surely it wouldn't be a problem. I bet it would be under 100 bucks in that case.

post it up always good to know of a good ceramic coater. my ron woods coating is scratched up and maybe i can tell some people with cars and trucks also. coating turbo parts is usually expensive

Here is their website. http://moorepower.com/
Prices tend to be about half of what other big name companys charge, and they carry a 5 year warrenty.

Nice

Doesn't look like it. I should be getting my pipes back today or tomorrow.
Should be sick! I'll get some pics up ASAP.
