CERAMIC EXHAUST COATINGS

[polarus]

I was just on TTI's website checking prices, is it worth the extra expense to have the system ceramic coated? Are there cheaper alternatives?

you can always wrap them, that's a lot of exhaust wrap...

I had mine ceramic coated, they claim lower temps. I did not record the exhaust manifold temps before being coated, but after at idle, if I remember, were around 240-260. Around 2500 rpms, I think they were around 330-360 degrees. Stock manifolds on my 383.

Mummified exhaust, nah too much work.

Thanks.

lower temps plus they don't rust out and look sweet. pay the extra. you wont be sorry.

Looks like I'll have to collect a few more bottles & cans.

I put on ceramic coated headers on my 67 Fury III when I completed the 440 swap, big difference in the amount of heat given off and they look sharp. Worth the money if it's a car you'll be keeping for a while.

You won't regret coating them. My favotite place to get that done is Calico Coatings in Denver North Carolina. Good job, reasonable cost and quick turn around.

I have never seen anything else hold up as far as rust poping through. I plan on doing mine next year when I install dual exhaust. There is a shop near me that does excellent work.

My friend swears by it, I'll just have to save up a little more money.

 

[jake]

I will not swear by it, but I believe I paided 260 for the pair. It was an extra 60 because I had them coated in gray, not black.

THOSE MANIFOLDS LOOK GREAT

I plan on having mine done in gray too. Yours look great!

Jet Hot did a set of (4) headers for me, it was $350 IIRC. I had the inside coated as well. They looked almost chrome when done.

I saw one set of cast iron manifolds on a 64 Corvette that had been aluminum coated. It was really cool looking, I don't know if it helped on the heat though.

I had the inside coated as well.

The inside is also done on my manifolds. I had a buell back in the day and had the exhaust header coated by Jet Hot, it blued almost instantly.
