"Worth it" is pretty subjective. If you are **** (as I am) the answer is YES. I had it done on my Stage IIs and also on my OEM cans.

I have mine coated black and have had them on for the last 3 seasons...It's a very robust coating, the mufflers look amazing, especially after I polished the muffler straps. The contrast looks so good. I do have a few chips on my wide oval tips, but that's my own fault; I should've removed them before dropping the rear bumper... You live you learn.

**Edit: You can see my cans after 3 years of enjoyment ~ bottom right:

I just had installed Fister II's which were powder coated in Mag Silver. I think a lot depends on the color of your car and the color/type of tips you have on your car. I have Speed Yellow with factory chromed tips.

This depends largely on the cost benefit from said coating. Is the coating applied throughout the muffler; or just on the outside?

OEM cans are 300 series stainless, so corrosion is not a real concern. Perhaps the claim is the ceramic coating keeps the muffler "cooler" or "flows" better?
Is there any test data to back this up?

D&D aftermarket performance motorcycle mufflers have been "selling" the ceramic coating, for going on 20 years now, but their product tubing is mild steel.

If its an appearance factor, I fail to see the point on muffler cans that are hidden; but then again, its not my money at this juncture...A $5 can of heat resistant paint might just do the trick for me.

I have the II and the III on my cars.

I always do the Cermachrome. It gives it a completed and rich look.
