Let us know how the paint holds up on the exhaust cans.
Seems like
it would have been easier to just paint them without the removal step?

I was told by the Porsche tech that the tips don't exceed 200 degrees.
The paint should hold up well in good driving weather.

I have an egt gauge on my car. The sensor is mounted after the cats. At full throttle I see temps of 1600 degrees

i still say your ceramic coating will look terrible in a few months, but if you must
black chrome is the way to go.

seriously, 99% or the time it's a module that plugs into the wiring harness. i would be really surprised if you had to reprogram the ecu to install a wing. that would severely limit the people that could install it. get back to me when you find out for sure. i'm guessing you'll have to send me another gift as an apology when you find out i'm right

Check this site out for another tip coating option. This outfit is located in Washington state, but I'm sure others are able to provide this type of coating.

there's a problem. in order to install the wing properly u need the tester to disable the automatic wing. if u don't everytime u go above 75mph the annoying light will come on. when will ur dealer get the computer? haha...
thanks,
