OH no ive got a plan, to me im trying to get mine to stand out among the other vette side pipes, Kaye (vette's name) is white on the exterior, SO ive got the headers ceramic coated flat black, and im going to do the same with the pipes....i think the white and black will contrast GREAT, AND i wont hav to worry bout constantly cleaning the pipes, im a neat FREAK when it comes to Kaye, i wash her every other time i drive her, clean inside and out

i hope itll look good
