What would you do with 800 dollars?
I'm going to pull off my exhaust manifolds and crossover pipe and have them CERAMIC coated in two weeks. Ill be going with satin black. I was quoted 300 plus tax, so i figure everything should be around 350. I'm a little concerned about pulling the rear manifold though. I don't know if it will come off without pulling the engine. I may even have the throttle body ceramic coated too.
My next mod will be a ram air hood scoop or an inferno hood, with a 160 thermostat, Evens coolant and a spal fan controller

No way in hell... maybe with some old beater, but there is no way i'm trusting my baby with some hack-job yokel muffler shop who will be using aluminized, non stainless piping, off-brand mufflers, and welds that might last the winter...not to mention they'll probably scratch my car and try to 'test' drive it... screw that... im paying the money for the magnaflow and doin it myself...

Verdad Gallardo If your going to pull them off measure the hell out of them and get us good pics of all angles on these exhaust manifolds. Also have you thought about seeing if a machine shop will port and polish these before you get them coated? I know in the 3800 world PEMs our a lot better then the stock manifolds but only 1/2 as good as headers. But this might be a cheap alternative until headers show up.

Oh.. and I just got my 3" downpipe and 3" u-bend delete pipe so I planing on getting the exhaust installed real soon! I'm keeping the stock cat and going with 3" mandrel bent pipe into the split with 2 1/2" after. I'm thinking of using Edelbrock SCT mufflers or just using one of these
