Camcoat?

[LuckyP]

My exhausts manifols look a bit tired. No doubt a good polish would sort them out, but after chatting to Brian, I'm thinking about Camcoating them.

The CERAKROME finish, what is it like, does it flake over time, and any noticed any benifits of the quicker exhaust gas transfer?

Cheers

Mine are cermacrome.
Stig organised a group buy so quite a number were done.

I do nothing to mine and they still look half decent after 4 years.
The only problem I have with mine is that there must be a path for wheel spray to get through and spray onto the side of one pipe which obviously does not like the temp change so has flaked at that point. Does it both sides.

Cheers Steve. I just like the look of the blue/gold etc of the std stainless finish. But if there were a performance gain for the ceramic coating then that would swing it for me.

Tart, yes I know.

I've used camcote before, a good company. Another customer had his pipes made and then treated via an F1 team. They told him that the white coating sheds more heat then the silver coatings. White is best for heat rejection but not as nice to look at. HTH

hi pete

had mine done 2 years ago, only had the car running in the garage so far but they dont discolour like the polished exhausts. they do go off but they go a bit like aluminium colour, similar to the gearbox type silver. They polish back up quite easily again.

I had mine done at the same time as Steve and still look fine. Stainless has a tendency due to heat and time to revert back to steel so won't look perfect forever. The coating makes a significant reduction in the temp given odd the headers.

Anyone got a picture of what they look like?

Cheers

Hi Pete

These were mine when I got them back. Chrome on the outside, black coating on the inside. Camcoat were good to deal with and usually turn them around in two weeks. Mine still look great.
