Never thought of that.............
I have PSE and pipes are quite recessed. Still cold up here and haven't been driving hard. I'll have a look later today.
All good. No sign of any problem. I should have used BBQ or manifold paint..............mine have been gone over 2 weeks.
The price will be color dependent. If you go for black, and depending on the size of the shop you use, they will most likely have other items they are coating that day and the price should reflect a bulk order. I was quoted $150 for black. However, since I eventually chose a special order color (I opted for a gun metal titanium), I paid the hit for being the only item ceramic coated in that color, roughly $300, for the job.
they look great! I've been thinking I'd like to do my headers, x-pipe, mufflers, and tips - I really liked the VIVID Racing turbo that they did the entire exhaust in white. (I wouldn't do white, but I appreciated the look) Probably I'd go for a titanium or black / black-chrome finish. on the 997, the larger tips stand out in chrome but would blend better in black.
Anyone in the SF Bay Area have any good recommendations for ceramic coating that isn't exorbitant at the check out?
Here's a link to the Vivid Racing set up I mentioned earlier if you wanna have a look.
They only did them last night so I need to wait 5 days to let them cure. Literally freezing outside so I will keep them inside before putting them on the car.
Would you be willing to share information as to the vendor who did the coating and the cost? Also, was any surface preparation, cleaning, etc, necessary on your part?

I dropped them off Monday and got them back Saturday. I cleaned them up with a quick wipe but nothing more.
Total cost $80.
They told me they do lots of local Porsche dealer work (probably a half dozen dealers within easy driving distance from them) and they used to do the coating work for Fabspeed in the past. They have a good reputation locally.

Thanks very much. Willow Grove is a relatively short distance away from my home in PA. I will have my tips coated in the next month or so.
It looks good guys!
