Nitroplate (Nashville, Tn) will ceramic coat headers and sidepipes for $335.
You can touch them up with ceramic/aluminum rattle can paint.
Cooler under the hood because the ceramic holds more of the heat inside the headers and passes it out the exhaust system.
They claim more horsepower, maybe 1 or 2 hp???
Ceramic, the best of everything

Do you have the contact information for Nitroplate? I'm just about ready to send my sidepipes to them for coating. I've seen pics of the bright silver they use and it almost looks like polished aluminum or chrome.
Thanks,
