Colyn,

I have a studded section of exhaust with a shroud around it from which I get my cabin heat. That's what I call my heat muff.

I have a normally aspirated Lycoming IO-540, hence no turbine wheels. Don't think I'd risk coating the insides of my pipes if I did.

Wow. if only you had told me not to do that!
btw What heat muff? ;-)

a point I forgot to make is that aircraft exhaust is very thin metal compared to auto, which is why jet hot isn't more careful...

Skip - have you inspected your turbine wheels to find the alleged damage from ceramic flaking off and hitting the blades?
