Default CHROME!!!!!!

I was going to have mine Ceramic Coated and I had run into a gentleman that worked at a Harley dealership. He told me that the way they have fixed the problem of the headers(Harley's) turning blue is to Ceramic coat the inside after they have been chromed. This will prevent the chrome from turning blue. I think the Ceramic looks good but the chrome looks much better if you can prevent it from turning blue with this process. This is the way Im going to go. I cant say wheather it worked for me yet, but I have noticed the new Harleys driving around town have chrome headers that are not discolored. You should only have to Ceramic coat the inside of the header. I havent seen them blue beyond the collector. each of my sidepipes are 2 peices. the header and the sidepipe. the header is the only part that needs to be Ceramic coated inside. I am assuming the Harleys Ive seen without the blue have the inside Ceramic coated. It is obviously much more expensive to pay for coating them twice, but nothing looks better than chrome!!!!!!!
