sorry to ask a possibly dumb question but what advantage does thermal coating have?

You should ask for a free set in turn of not suing him for using your pictures, then sell the headers to me for half price!

I completely forgot about that but good call.

My reasoning behind doing it is for warranty purposes. For some reason the warranty inspectors (2 of them now) could not detect the shorty EvoSport headers on my e55. I think this maybe due to them being the same color as the stock log manifold, so they don't give it a second thought. These PLMs are polished so they could easily distinguish them from stock.
