Default hot side question

Hey guys, how many of you have ceramic coated your hot side to help hold in the heat? Why don't more people do this instead of exhaust wrap...other than cost.

Are people worried about the ceramic chipping inside the tubes and going into the turbo's and then boom?

Just curious if there is a reason why people don't do it as much, or if it is just the cost

thanks guys

you shouldnt have to worry about the ceramic chipping, if its the high temp ceramic coating, if it does flake off you have more serious problems.
ceramic coating is nice, so if you can get it, go for it, as long as you dont have to reweld pipes, it sucks to clean it off to reweld it.
if you cant afford it the heat wrap is a good alternitive

I have 200* ceramic coating and wrapped the pipes. Only the outside is coated. Dont ever get the inside done, just for what you said.

the ceramic guy i was talking to was going to coat the inside and outside with high temp coating. I can't imagine it would chip, but i figured I would check
