I had my done by
a Engineered Applied Appications, Phone# 323-585-2894 in Vernon, CA
and they looked like polished aluminum, cool...Had a very good service and no
problem what so ever, maybe I was just lucky...They do a lot of coating for race
cars too...I was recommended by people who built Shelly Cobras Race cars in
Torrance, right next to the airport...No problems with size or anything at all,
that's my 2 cents

I had the same experience as Colyn when I had my
pipes coated on my ES. I sent my exhaust to Jet Hot (which is
primarily for cars) and when I got it back, some joints were a little
loose but others wouldn't fit at all. I don't know how they did it, but
some of the joints were visibly out of round. I had to take them to
another shop to try to get them bent back into shape, which resulted in
slightly leaky joints. Eventually, I had to have a new exhaust
made. I took the new pipes to Olympic Coatings in Escondido
and had their gray high temp coating put on. Several years and a few
hundred hours later, it's still going strong. I had both the inside and
outside of the pipes done, however it's important to remember NOT to coat the
pipe running through the heat muff. Doing so will greatly reduce the
heat transfer.
