Jet Hot's process is ceramic coating. While they pioneered it some time ago, you might be able to find a local business that does the same thing just as well. The CACC guys found a great one in Virginia, which many of us use.

The primary advantage of ceramic on pipes and headers is that it dissipates extreme heat very quickly. Most of the chrome or stainless pipes I've seen are discolored, at least at the point where they elbow exiting the body.
