The ceramic will tolerate the hight temps, the powder coater I talked to said powder coat will discolor in the 400* - 500* range.

I saw a kids motor that was powder coated white, but it turned pink after a few months.

Ceramic also acts as a heat barrier.

Mine were Jet-Hot brand and the headers look great, but the pipes were rusty in less than a year. They are re-doing them for me as long as I pay the shipping there.
