Ceramic Coating on Aluminized Exhaust

[Dr Ronald]

So I'm looking to get a turbo back exhaust pretty soon here. I want to get the whole thing ceramic coated for two reasons: 1) Heat Insulation and 2) It will look awesome. Anyway my question is pretty simple. Should I just go with an aluminized exhaust since I'm going to have it coated anyways? Is ceramic coating rust proof/resistant? I realize that the insulation benefit would be minimal, but considering it would probably be nearly as much to upgrade to stainless as it would be to get it coated, I figure, why not? Thanks in advance

ceramic coating is itself rust proof. But it can b damaged by rock and what not which will leave the underlying material exposed. SS will last forever! A coated system will just rust from inside, because the major byproduct of combustion is water. Getting system coated is sweet, but don't cheese out on the system expecting a coating to make up the difference. If cost is a problem then just for go the ceramic and get the stainless.

Definatly stainless is way better quality. And good choice with the coating. Do the exhaust housing and 02 housing while your at it
