Approxiamtely how much to ceramic coat the exhaust pipes and manifold?
What if you can spray boron nitride on the pipes.

Make sure they know the temps for a rotary. The standard ceramic is only good for 1200-1400. Jet coating or high temo ceramic will work, but I had the high temp ceramic and it only comes in one color-ugly, is what I would descibe it.

I had the mani,waste gate,waste gate pipe, DP, exhaust turbine housing done

195.00 CAN

I did the ceramic coating route as well. It gives a shiney type of grey color to whatever it is on. The reasons are this:

- no rust
- keeps heat in so faster spoolup
