Sure does sound weird, but at the same time, awesome! It'll be a b*tch to keep the inside of the pipes clean though man!

I wonder if this is the place that powdercoated my RPI tips as well.. Although mine looked awesome when it was first done, now it looks like shit and its only been the winter and fall. Its chipped, cracked and the chrome is showing underneath. He was receommnded by Calton, but i dont remember the neighborhood. Maybe ill have it re-done after it comes off my car. I dont know yet..
Elite said they need to be Ceramic coated, which is a completely different process. Basically Ceramic coating is for headers/exhaust/engine parts. I believe that Elite will be Ceramic coating the OP's exhaust tips.
