Ceramic Coater in the Sacto Area

Hey guys,

Looking for someone to ceramic coat my new headers, anyone have any suggestions on someone or someplace to do it in the Sacramento area?

Possible my downpipe and exhaust if i can get a good deal.

Thanks much!

Will

Dont cheap out on your coating. Send it to Swain tech. Do some searches on coating a header and how the shops do ceramic their coating. There are companies that ceramic coat DP's and header/s will do the inside as well as the outside and that is not a good idea/thing to do. A big name company like JET HOT does this and It has been shown that the internal coating flakes at some point and those flakes end up in your turbo and then your catalytic converter if your running one or two. Many people will say save your money its not worth it. I spent the money and did it right, i went with swain tech for my header, and TI thermal wrap for the DP. There is a reason why KillerBee Has their header coated by swaintech.

Ceramic coating the inside? Really? I have never heard of doing that, doesnt really make sense in my head exactly for the reason you stated, the coating flaking off. (then again I don't know much)

I will check out Swain Tech. There isnt a huge rush right now so sending them away to have them coated is definitely an option.
