I was told about £80 for the down pipe, so two more lenghts of pipe cant be that much more.

for individual pipes they were running well into the hundreds, I think a header and downpipe was something like 400 sheets

It is expensive to have it done properly. There are different methods and processes of doing it.
Just one method:
Bake
Blast
Chem bath
Base coat
Bake
Top coat
Bake/harden
More effective done internally and externally (on exhausts anyhow).

I didn't realise there were different levels of ceramic coating.

About £450 to have a set of GT spec headers done IIRC?
