Default Ceramic coating FMIC pipes

Has anyone done the entire lot? Would there be any benefits?

I will be sending a downpipe off soon to be done, and wondered if it was worth having these done at the same time.

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:
  1. Bake
  2. Blast
  3. Chem bath
  4. Base coat
  5. Bake
  6. Top coat
  7. 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?
