Gold coat is only for piston tops, right? Unless I'm reading wrong...

Here's thier ceramic coating info....

I had my manifold and downpipe coated, but my turbo isn't. I regret it now, but I can't really say what/how much heat it's putting off compared to if it were coated. I do also have the downpipe/wastegate piping wrapped, too, and that made a severe difference in underhood temps!

Bottom line? I like it, my opinion. Good stuff!
