Not sure where you're trying to reduce radiated temps from, but any SS pipe is going to hold a lot of heat at its surface while running and some time after shut down as well unless its super thin material. That said, ceramic coating the pipes will reduce heat radiated through the pipes as well as dissipate any surface heat faster than that of the raw substrate.
As to the Akra pipes you have shown, I've never seen a skin / wrap like that before. It appears to be a thin corrugated SS or alum skin. Not sure how effective it would be without a non conductive base material under it. Also, there are large portions of pipe with no wrap at all. Maybe someone on here that's run them before would have more insight as to what they consist of. |
I just had my downpipes ceramic pro 9h coated while having my car done...I'm wondering if it'll have any positive impact?
