PM Pappy and ask him about the pipe.I know that it can be done and it is supposed to hold up well,it looks almost like a dull aluminium.I would PC the a arms also.

you will need high temp paint for the exhaust. i would consider paint with ceramic in it on the headers. this may help retain some heat which will increase the exhaust speed out of the pipe.

for the a-arms, just make sure you use a high quality paint. i had mine done and they turned out like crap and even are chipping. i know i didn't send it to a professional. i just sanded them down and had them painted with a good spray paint. i wouldn't do this. mine didn't stick the best.

yeah, bill snuck in a reply before i got mine in. yes, you can send the pipe off to get ceramic coated. this would retain the heat best. you could contact jet hot, calico, swain tech, hp coatings, performance coatings, etc. i believe the best one is swain tech because this one won't come off like other ceramic coatings after a few years. however, this coating is white and then you paint it yourself after they coat it. or you could leave it the pearly white that it comes with.

get the exhaust coated from jet hot...cooler temps and you actually pick up some hp because they coat the inside and the outside, making it smooth that lessens exhaust restriction
