Default ceramic coating

what do the "big" boys think about coating everything from exhaust manifolds to up pipes?? I've already read "heat=energy" argued by some, to "heat is only relevant because of the velocity of the exhaust spinning the turbo". Is the real benefit that the ambient air temp under the hood is lowered so the air getting sucked into the engine is denser?? way over my pay-grade! but I have to get the new turbo installed and want to get as much done once everything is apart so I don't find myself doing it later!

thanks Floyd

Helps turbo spool quicker, keeps heat down in engine
compartment. My parts are at Swain tech coating
getting done now. I will wrap down pipe.

I did the pipes on my 1978 harley shovelhead inside and out and it was amazing how much cooler everything ran. This was 10 years ago and they still look brand new.
