RE: [T3] Muffler Options?? Ceramic coat the bugger!


My stinger is ceramic coated w/a chrome-look application.  It still looks
brand new!  The baffle inside of it is blued/oranged from the heat.  My
roommate coated his valve cover (chrome-look), exhaust header heat shield
(chrome-look), header (black) and turbo downpipe (black) on his '98
Mitsubishi Eclipse -- looks awesome, clean, increases the turbo efficiency
and, from what he says, reduced the underhood temp a little (personally,
that engine generates so much heat I question that but I don't driver her
every day like him so I could be wrong).  Do the ceramic, it's good stuff
and worth the cost!  Kymco is a good choice.  However, you want to make sure
they coat the inside as well for maximum exhaust piping life and effect
(heat retention) -- the internal coating looks plain grey on the exhausts
I've seen.  Otherwise the exhaust system will rust from the inside-out,
especially where it bends.
