Should I Cerakote downpipes?

Zero_Cool · 06-30-2017, 06:12 AM

I know a dude that does some nice cerakote work and I was thinking about having some downpipes (VSRF) coated. These DPs will be catless and I know that helps keep the heat down in the engine bay. Would it be in my benefit to have them cerakoted? Looking to purchase in a week or so. Thanks in advance!

I'd do it. Anything to keep temps down is always a good idea. Turbo blankets do an exceptional job at keeping bay temps down too.

It's minimal unless you have a full competition car. I also was thinking about this.

Looks cool but a waste of money for daily drivers
