RC DOUBLE

I went with the natural finish to match the rest of the car's underside. Besides
for me it was all about the sound and that sound is AMAZING !!!! And can not
say enough good things about Darin.

Looks was only a very small part of having my Stage IIIs coated. I wanted the reduced radiated heat that resulted from the ceramic coating. After all I did remove my engine tray.

Cermachrome for me too. The reduced heat was a major factor.

I'll do the coating, relatively cheap insurance to better protect the plug wires. Thanks for everyone's input.

I went with the velvet black mufflers and tips. It's only been 4 months but the finish is holding up well. No problem ditching the heat shields. You can put your hand on them when the cars idling.

I'm thinking about Velvet Black on my Slate Gray car. Going for the subdued look.

+1 for subdued...Lovin' my Velvet Black Stage III's.

Do you have the IIs or IIIs?

I had II's but with my FD 200 cel cat it was a bit too loud. I went back to the old school Stage I and love it!

So it's now Stage I and a 200 cell cat?

CarreraX

Yep. The sound is perfect!

I like my factory motor sounds cans, but ceramic coating them would be awesome.

I can really appreciate the desire to reduce heat from the mufflers but has anyone taken a laser heat temp reading to see what the delta really is? If we're talking a couple of degrees then hardly seems with it. It's a fairly thin coating so not sure how effective it is, but what do I know.

cChrome for mufflers and cat.
