Excellent....and yep..you want the inside coated. Think how much more corrosive, hot, and damaging what is running out of your exhaust pipe is from the inside is compared to what's on the outside. Helps them to last longer and prevent rusting from the inside out.

Definitely do that to mine if I ever have to remove them.

Jethot does the same thing, and I know it was like $200 for our FSAE exhaust. Pretty cheap, and gets the job done just as well as header wraps. Plus, it looks better and helps prevent corrosion.

I'm bringing a set of headers by to them next week, they said the turn around would be 2 weeks....

I'm also going to bring an extra crossover pipe I have lying around to see if they will take care of that as well.....

Thanks for the link, I had forgotten these guys were in town...

Turnaround was less than two weeks and it only cost $130 for inside and out.

I am very pleased.

Great price and they look great! It should keep temps down significantly under the hood. I hope the finish holds up for a VERY LONG TIME.

Man, those look SWEET! This subject really interests me and I have a few questions. My background in heat transfer isn't that great, but it seems kind of wierd that such a thin coating could do much insulating. I wouldn't doubt that the coatings will help avoid corrosion significantly, though. Any idea what the lifetime for this type of coating would be in our cars? Do they just plate aluminum then oxidize it to make these? Price seems really reasonable.

thanks
