[quote="echomike"]I have ceramic coated two exhaust systems. The first was on a Stinson 108-2 I owned for several years. Before doing it I checked with the local maintenance guy at the Houston FSDO. (sorry can't remember his name) and he said you couldn't do it without an STC or 337. He was adamant. After a fairly long conversation I asked him what was the difference between ceramic, Hi heat paint, chroming etc? Aren't they all "protective coatings?" After he thought about it for a while he said "go for it", The term (protective coating) will probably allay any "stickler types" you run into!
End result: much cooler exhaust pipes(and under cowl temps over all), no rusting (except where normal expansion and contraction caused slip joint rubbing etc), much better looking and to-date (I just called the Stinsons owner to check) no cracking after several annuals. I know this may start an " opinion firestorm" but I intend to also Ceramic coat any other exhaust systems I own when I get the chance. Helpfull comments?

UPDATE: Log onto the powerflow website and you will find that ceramic coating is "FAA approved" and available as an extra cost option with their performance exhaust systems echomike
