	"Ceramic coating!  Survey says?"  Bzzzzzzzzzzt.

	At least at Jet Coat (or Jet Hot or whatever), if they can't coat
the inside--as with a muffler--then the guarantee is relatively short
(couple of years).  If it's a tube--like a header or tailpipe--it's
guaranteed forever.  Sounds like the way to go w/ headers.  For them to
coat a T3 muffler I was quoted somewhere in the $150-$200 range, with the
limited guarantee.  Doesn't seem to pay off (at least as long as there
still are crazy folks like us around who hoard them & sell them to one
another;).
