So is it generally agreed that the ceramic coating is for aesthetics more than anything? I did some searching, and it was noted that the ceramic coating and jet hot did little to retain the heat from the exhaust. So its basicly there for corrosion protection and looks, right?
Not what I've heard/read anywhere else about the Jet-Hot style ceramic coatings. Although, it does look "hot."

I want the coating for thermal reasons.
I've given this about 15 seconds of thought... Is there a way the heat shield from the Zetec cars could be adapted to cover the headers & make them look all factory & also help keep heat away from the radiator & other sensitive items under the hood?
Sup'm to think about...
don't see why not, it isn't like it is some highly expensive hard to work with metal, at least to my knowledge
sounds like a good idea to me but is there space for something like that
Should only need about 1/4" clearance from the header - other than the connection points, of course. Any shielding is better than none in this case. Those headers do get HOT.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

What would it take for someone to "donate" $200 to a poor college student who is a contour enthusiest, so he can get a wonderful pair of headers?
