The 289FIA's were highly modified - especially in Europe, there is almost no "norm" on the exhaust systems. The cars had to be street legal and registered. That had large influence on the cars.
The canisters had the red paint on from factory, the car is middle of the build thus it is not the final color. I can see ceramic coated headers and down pipes but it is just wasted money on the canisters.
The coating is applied to keep the exhaust gas as hot as possible to assure the fast travel.
