Bane,

I am really interested in getting this type of coating. What is the theory behind it -- how does it keep things cooler? It is really just a ceramic coating, right? Does it just keep the heat in the system until it is expellled via the exhaust instead of letting it dissipate en route?

This applies to all exhaust systems so even if you aren't using my setup I highly recommend the coating...
