Take your exhaust system to the next level with ceramic coating! More than just an appearance coating, ceramic provides corrosion resistance and a thermal barrier while maintaining a show-car shine. Whether applied to mild steel, aluminized steel, or stainless steel, ceramic coating is the ultimate finish for the perfectionist in us all.
Here's how it works. Finished exhaust components are cooked in an oven for one hour to burn off oils leftover from manufacturing. Next, the pipes are media blasted inside and out to remove oxidation, corrosion, and rust. Once blasted, the pipes are dipped in a series of chemical baths to prepare the surface for coating. Dry pipes are brushed internally and sprayed externally using a liquid ceramic coating. After curing in a controlled environment, pipes are baked in an oven at temperatures exceeding 500°. Once cooled, pipes are polished in a giant tumbler.
Our blend of ceramic coating combines pure ceramic with raw aluminum. The finish resembles polished aluminum. While not a mirror finish, bright enough to shine. Check out the reflections in the pictures below. This finish will dull slowly over time, but can be maintained by hand polishing with basic metal polish. The finish will never change colors or turn brown like stainless steel.
The major benefit to ceramic coating is corrosion protection. No other coating can withstand temperatures this high without flaking, peeling, or melting. Our blend or ceramic coating has been tested to withstand 6500 hours of salt spray.
Being able to withstand high temperatures means more than just coating life. Ceramic coated exhaust pipes lower under-hood temperatures by hundreds of degrees. When coated inside and out, exhaust gases give up less heat to the metal maintaining the velocity of the exhaust gases. Studies have shown 5% increases in HP and torque. We're not going that far, but every bit helps. Our coating can withstand 1300° metal temperatures and 1600° exhaust gases.
How The Process Works:
1. When placing an order for your 42DD MKV 2.0T downpipe, please order this corresponding ceramic coating part as well.
2. Once ordered and ready for shipping, your downpipe will be delivered to the coating shop. From there the shop gets to work on your system. The process itself, described above, takes 3-4 days to complete. Accounting for transportation times and any cue at the coating shop, your system will take 7-14 business days to complete.
3. Once returned to 42, gaskets and any additional hardware are added and your system is shipped to your doorstep.
Why Is The Wait So Long?:
The ceramic coating process itself takes 3-4 days to complete. It's infinitely more than a quick paint job. Accounting for transportation times and any cues at the coating shop, we have to estimate our turn-around times high. Realistically, it could happen as fast as 5 business days.
PLEASE NOTE: This ceramic coating part is an option to be purchased along with a 42 Draft Designs exhaust component. This item CAN NOT be purchased by itself.
