I have a suggestion for the latest and greatest stainless steel GTS exhaust system. Metallic ceramic coat the inside only of those beautiful exhaust pipes. Here's the engineering sales pitch. The ceramic coated inside functions as a temperature insulator keeping hot gases from transferring high heat to the metal exterior of the pipes. The metal exterior dissipates heat faster than a ceramic coated exterior surface also. This means the pipes cool down faster but reach higher external temperatures. An engineering trade-off maybe, but it would be beautiful and functional. To accomplish this, sandblast or blast with aluminum oxide balls to prepare the internal surfaces for grip of the coating. Best to do this before assembly so the sandblast media doesn't get clogged in the ANSA mufflers. I'm not sure about the details but the procedure is to paint with the metallic ceramic liquid, or to apply it however they find is best, then cure in an autoclave or high temperature oven. So, it seems like it would be no problem to protect the exterior stainless steel GTS exhaust pipes. Let us know what's up with this product.
