[s-cars] To ceramic coat or not

[Serge Filanovsky]

Jet Hot charges by the foot for our downpipes, or at least that has been my
experience, the biggest hassle is shipping it. I used their "Jet-Hot 2000
gray" extra super duper hi temp coating (inside and out). Cost something
like $80, manifold was $125 or something, this was about 2 years ago. If I
had to do it over I would get their "sterling" finish.

Checking their site reveals that they now offer several other coating
options.
