Ceramic coating headers and ???
Hello,
I take delivery on my headers, x pipe, this week.
I plan on sending them out to get ceramic coating asap.
My question is do I just CC the headers or headers and Xpipe?
Thanks,
J.

I would recommend both. I had my headers coated inside and out and just the outside of the X-pipe coated. I was very happy with my decision as the tunnel temp is way down and the inside of the car does not get nearly as hot as it used to. Also, I have no concerns of melting wires.

[QUOTE=EyeMaster;1583714610]It depends. If you go cat-less, then you can ceramic coat the x-pipe, but if you have cats, just do the headers.

Thanks.

You have already won by picking ceramic. If they dont charge u to much to do the X why not. Ask them about cats and heat before you do the X. I am not sure its an issue as more heat will be carried away from the engine through the exhaust.

Ceramic cools really quickly also.

Im doing the headers and x pipe.
No issues with the x pipe as only the outside is coated.
I want to do this to keep temps down as it does get hot with stock system in the cabin.
In the long run should I do further mods, its already done.
Thanks for everyones input.
