Default Ceramic coating ARH mid length question

So, stupid question. I’m getting the ARH mid length headers with cats in a couple of weeks, and I want to ceramic coat them. Do I get the cat part coated too, or just the header part? Is it an issue if I don’t get the cat part coated? I don’t want to screw up the cats

thanks

I usually get the complete headers and x pipe all the way back to the axle coated... my cats ( metal matrix ) are coated outside only.. headers and x pipe coated inside and outside...

Thanks Dan! Going to talk to the ceramic coating guy soon to see cost. I asked for a quote for "mid length headers" and he came back with $375-425. Don't know yet if that's inside and out, just out, or whatever I want.
