Yes the test car was stock other than an Apexi intake silicone tube which in this case it might as well be stock.
We don't do the coating here. It is applied like most ceramic coatings. The process is lengthy. First they therm the headers and clean them. Then they get blasted, then a base coat, then the finish coat and a whole lot of polishing with a final wipe down and cleaning. It's quite the process. Glad we don't do that here!

Since these headers are stainless steel there is no concern of corrosion.
The only real benefit would come from lowering engine bay temps and the fact that hotter air flows faster, so probably a small almost immeasurable performance gain.
We may stock some pre coated ones eventually if it appears to be popular, but for now we are just building them all without coating and the customer can add that after the fact. Which can take two weeks because we will need to ship them out for coating at the time of the order and then ship to the customer when they are done.

During testing we wanted to limit variables such as different variations in the aftermarket exhaust systems. The power gains had been proven on the small group of initial test cars before we opened it up to beta testers (second round of testing) so we were more focused on overall gains and drive ability etc. I will make a note to grab some graphs of some cars with aftermarket cat back systems in the future though and post them up here when we can.
