The ceramic coating should keep its look forever... at least for a really long time.

I thought everyone was having problems with the ceramic coated pipes? You might wanna just go with the stainless.

Ive heard getting the JetHot coating on a pipe is also very well worth it.

The ceramic coating works well.On my crf quad i put the quad on the dyno before i sent the pipe out to be ceramic coated and after it was done i put it back on the dyno and gained a touch under 2 hursepower.I have a rossier exhaust on my bike and had the pipe coated inside and out and it looks awesome well worth the money...........Chris

actually sparks sis going to all stainless steel and if you want ceramic coat it will be an extra charge. Ceramic takes a little more tlc and people aren't doing it and the pipes can rust and turn colors.

Sparks had problems with regular steel ceramic coated header. You CAN get a stainless header and they CAN ceramic coat the stainless header for an extra charge. like $40 or $50 more. I just polished my header and it looks good but alot of work.

just go with the stainless, unless you want to worry about the ceramic flaking off and rusting your header...

Wrapping your head pipe with performance exhaust wrap cant hurt. Goto www.thermotec.com
