[quote=1854sailor]Picked up the header from the coating company. Aluminum-Ceramic high temperature...

Great move Sailor! It is the very best treatment one can do for exhaust pipes, and avoids the problems with stainless steel (discolors and brittle when the wrong grade [often] is used), or exhaust wrapping. nono

I have used the same coating on one of my cars for the last 27 years. It will soon go opaque but stays as effective. The non-chrome ones stay the same color. For some reason, ceramic coating is less commonly in the UK...possibly regulatory stuff. It can be done, but it is more difficult to find people to do it and the prices are high I metalized those on my UK Plus8s. They stayed perfect but the effect was merely aesthetic. Pic below.

One fellow in the UK might have been ahead of all of us. Rob Wells, racer, race preparer (incl.for Charles Morgan), dealer and co-founder of Librands. His bespoke Plus 8s racer exhaust is below.
