I've been following the ceramic coating thread and am considering getting my SS HEs coated. Should they be coated all the way to the tips which go into the heads, or will that cause an installation problem?

Also, anyone know a reputable ceramic coater in the Atlanta area?

Thanks

Les...if I'm pickin' up what you're layin' down, you're talking about ceramic coating your SS heat exchangers, not headers.  Since they're SS corrosion isn't a concern.  What is your intent?  Lower under car temps?  Higher heater output temps?  Or just aesthetics?

I'm not concerned about appearance. I'm getting ready to newly install used SS HEs to upgrade my original 76 exhaust. I thought it would be a good time to do this if the price is reasonable. The idea of keeping engine compartment heat down and increase exhaust flow is the appeal for me.
