I agree do ceramic coating... Just dont do cheap shitty ceramic coating or you will have problems with that too.

A person has to be realistic about the kind of heat a set of turbo headers are going to see...

+1 on doing ceramic. I wrapped my entire ebay turbo kit and it was okay, then I did ceramic and it was a world of difference. If you really want, I could wrap them for you though. youd have to drop them off at my place in tustin though....

The only issues I have heard from people with coated exhaust were people who either tried it themselves and screwed up from not doing it correctly, or they had it done from a crappy shop. Otherwise coating is the preferred method over wrapping due to moisture and rust issues with wrapping.
