I had my MAC long tubes Ceramic coated inside and out to prevent rusting and increase performace. Now my cat back got stained when the tranny let loose and it looked bad so I just repainted that with the Dupont 1200 degree hi-temp paint, it looks really nice.

I should have pulled my headers out when I did all my work and had them ceramic coated because they really make the engine compartment look worse with all the rust spots on them. I'm going to have to do that when I swap engines I guess.
