Cerekote or not

Those of you that have headers is it worth it to cerekote them?

Cerakote will help improve the longevity as it will protect the metal from high temperature oxidation. From a thermal management perspective, it's not going to do much. If you want a product that will insulate well, I recommend Swain Tech's Multi-Layer Ceramic Coating; White Lightning.

+1 for White Lightening. It's rather expensive, but I can grab my headers just a couple minutes after I shut the car off.

It is a true ceramic coating, not just some powder coat bake on nonsense.

Jet hot on mine. - Make sure you or the coating company tape off the areas where the slip fit sections are. Don't ask how I know. haha

I did the headers, cats and Xpipe - Looks nice for sure
