Mark;
Thanks for the tip, but I'm trying to get the Thorleys since thats what was offered on the Yenko cars - just don't know what's taking so long, can't take this long to put the black ceramic coating on

I have the black ceramic coating, both inside and out on the exhaust system of my race bikes.

Very durable, and the pipes seem to cool down and disapate heat much faster.

I have not received my headers yet and I am going with the shiny headers, rust resistant. Oh god I forgot what they call those. Some high tech term. Anyway. I will keep you posted. Capt. Carl www.batterytoppers.com

What'd the black ceramic cost? Does it keep it's lustre? Just curious, I haven't seen any in person.

I went with the flat black ceramic coated inside and out. I have Doug Thorley 1 7/8" headers on my 396/375. I like the flat black look. They have kept their coating on but have gotten kind of gray or a lighter shade of black on parts that get the hottest. I do believe they are cooler running than others I have used....I think mine were about $325 to have them blasted and coated.

The Thorleys were around $450, and the ceramic coating was another $150, so approx. $650 with shipping. They are 1 5/8 tubes with 3", 3bolt collectors. I wanted the flat black look, since the high lustre jet-coat will cause a deduction at the serious shows. I think the Thorleys had a sticker on them, anyone know what it looked like back in the day? I'm sure it burned off pretty quickly.
