Ceramic coating???

[john]

I am getting a pair of headers for the viper and want to get them ceramic coated. Anyone local do this and anyone have an idea roughly what this would cost?

Thanks,
John

Wow. I'd think with the amount this has been posted there would be no question as to who and where you could go.

FFPerformance, based outta MAP's shop
Halon
Primo Performance, out in arden hills

I'm sure there's more, but these guys all do legit jobs, as I've got something on the car done by them all. Call em up. It's listed other places all over this board.

Any idea what it would cost since you have done it several times? Any pics of some of the work?

[Swifty1638]

well, FFP I don't remember as that was LONG ago, but they did Josh's blue manifolds for his stealth and the manifolds in black for john's galant. Halon did my VC, but pricing on that was a bit lower as he gave me a deal and i gave him my old shaved vc. and Primo didn't do a hole part, just touch-up on my VC when they welded on the -8 bungs for my catch can setup. So, I can't really give you much help for pricing. If you find something out though, let me know as my exhaust mani NEEDS a better coat then what it has.

Talk to Bob @ MAP (FFPerformance on here) he's done some good stuff that I've seen, and he's doing my turbine housing right now. I'll be posting the results, but so far he's efficient and does kick ass work.

Probably about $100 - $150

Bob does great work so I'd go to him. He is the one who did my intake manifold.

He is now working at MAP, but here is his site:

I would guess around $200, but ask him and I'm sure he'll give you an exact quote plus choice of colors available.

Swifty how much did they charge for the bungs and did they remove the baffle?

[Swifty1638]

NO removing baffle..you gotta keep that man. Basically, just weld on the fittings, then drill out the center of them..done. I honestly forget what it costed though.

Thanks for the info. Any recommendations for color? Just headers so maybe black??? I am picking them up on sunday and he said they could use a coating as they don't look that good.

On the other hand, I got a set of wheels which he said weren't in the best condition and they were fine after he dug them out of the snow. Ofcourse I found these after throwing the exhause back on the car...
