[bret a ewing]

I have white Swaintech pipes and love them. Outside pipe temp due to lower heat transfer is much less than stainless, cools rapidly. Increases hot gas evacuation signifigantly and decreases under-the-hood and footbox temps. This is a performance based coating and is rough to the touch.
Original ceramic color is dirty ivory-ish but was easily painted with ultra high temp white, also ceramic based. Touch-up is real easy.
