It's a high temperature silicon/ceramic coating specifically designed for turbo applications that was recommended by my powder coater... 2,000F. On Kline headers. Bit of a shame to stick them where they will never be seen!
I was considering ceramic coating my Klines also. It really makes the headers look sharp. But, with the turbo, my logic of not doing the headers was that I thought the coating would keep the exhaust heat in the system and cause heat soak problems with the turbos. I figure every little bit helps.

I use Techline on my applications, I ask because the end result looks very similar. If it is indeed Techline, you will be very happy with it - we have found, in testing - there is almost zero temperature drop from the exhaust port on the heads, to the drive side of the turbo, so that in turn means, faster spool up.
This is particularly helpful on diesels with big, single turbos.
I also used the Techline thermal dispersent on my AP 3.5" ICs that went inot the 996 last season - @ 70mph cruise on a 30c day, I see about 75-80f intake temps, which is very good.

Definitely a few variables in play... But I think with a catless (or sport cat) free-flowing exhaust, headers, and header coating, my net will be higher exhaust velocity pre-turbo, less back pressure post turbo, more usable power, and at the same or lower turbo casing temperatures. If anything, it might have an adverse effect on the rear bumper clear bra, which is already getting a bit heat damaged from the exhaust.

Well, my only 991 action today was to move it from my lower garage to the upper garage to make room for the new toy I finally took delivery of tonight. . Let me tell you PS4Ss are freaking terrifying at 20F on an unplowed snow-packed street!
That's a neat toy for your area... how was it in the snow?
Honestly I thought how bad it would suck if I smacked it up first day after waiting EIGHTEEN MONTHS for it so I took it easy, but really was no drama on a pretty sloppy snow day!

The new Bronco, however, didn't blink
Love the color!
Terrifying? Nothing is as terrifying as driving on a snow covered road here in middle Tennessee with hundreds of local drivers that have NO experience driving in the snow and ice.
It's not horrible, but I do like a more GT3'ish ride height. Porsche should have really lowered these cars about an inch from the factory.
I think that's why they offered SPASM on the 992's and I'd order that in a heartbeat if I got a 992. I haven't lowered my 991 and I go back and forth - maybe something very mildly lower + DSC would be perfect. I love the versatility of stock and driving around town - my TT is not a canyon / track car only. The DSC module helps a lot with ride quality too. Otto - your pic helps as I have HRE101LW's too.
