Jeff,

I am not sure what the exact materials are that Accessories Plus uses, but the basic process is to high temp bake the parts first then bead blast and coat. It's my understanding that ceramic coating is about .002" thick versus powder coating (for low temp parts) which is about .006" to .008" thick. Sound like Cap's and Accessories Plus use a similar one step process.

Having the headers a different color than the collectors and side pipes comes down to what one likes. Silver or white will make the headers stand out, black will make them tend to disappear … similar to a roll bar, black or chrome it's comes down to personal preference. Both look good.
