The photo doesn't capture it, but live it looks like matte white with some very small metallic particles, so in the photo it looks greyish.

Question - I am also going to use Swain but does the color always stay that way or does it turn a little brownish??

Also - what was the turnaround time?

You guys do realize this part goes UNDER the car where you can't see it right?, and now; they won't make it same color as your deviating stitching (good-natured LOLZ)

It's not deviated stitching. It's deviated threads and openings.

Not installed yet, so I don't know about turning brownish and I don't mind if it does since its not visable.

Turn around about three weeks.

The color stays basically the same, grey....maybe a bit darker. It does stains really easy if you touch them with grease on your hands due to the rough finish.

This is what they usually look like after some mileage:

Usual turn around time is 2 weeks (sometimes 3 depending on how busy they are) plus shipping to and from them. So figure about a month from the time it leaves your hands till you see it again and if you get it back sooner you'll be happy!

And just to clear up a some misinformation I have seen posted earlier in this thread:
A) It is safe to coat the cats with White Lightning
B) Swain Tech will NOT coat the inside of exhaust pipes or headers with cats. They only coat the outside and will mask off the flanges.

Fabspeed race headers and exhaust installed, anyone who says it's only slightly louder than stock is lying! First time I mashed the loud pedal the thing scared me half to death! I honestly thought something from hell was chasing me down! Haven't tested the quiet mode yet because why! Too much fun!
