the pipe used is really thin & the heat it gets will simply burn stuff off..

you might get away with wood burning stove enamel, but it stinks

I did my track cars entire system in that, it burnt all of the manifold and most the system when it got rr set up..

everything except ceramic will burn off, and wrap looks crap after a couple of hundred miles. Plain is for the win :thumb:

Did a bit of research on this myself and POR 15 seems to be recommended highly...
