Ceramic Coating Exhaust
A few weeks ago I put in some EM coated LT headers with SS Magnaflow mufflers. I also had an exhaust shop custom fab everything inbetween with mandrel bends. The shop told me to have it "done right" I should get everything from the headers to mufflers ceramic coated or they'll rust. Is it worth the expense to coat these parts, and how long would it take for the pipes to rust?

YES - Coated inside and out - Keeps undercarriage cooler and pulls exhaust through headers and pipes quicker.
What did it cost to fab it all up? What if you had to do it again in 5 yrs vs 8 or more years for a about $300.
