I bought the CAT headers and had them ceramic coated.  They still look perfect!

         1.&nbsp; My personal opinion is while the coating is preferable as it 
protects from rust and can offer advantages of reduced engine bay temps and 
keeps heat in the exhaust ports..&nbsp; It isnt stock... If you coat to appear 
original finish its up to the judges to spot...&nbsp; If you have these coated 
and another car has them painted .. I'd pin you the point...&nbsp;&nbsp;

         2. The LAT brochure shows what appears to be a satin black finish on 
them.. But its a B/W brochure..&nbsp; And..&nbsp; Maybe they painted them for 
the sales images .... So take that for what its worth.. So if ceramic coating a 
satin black Would be the first choice...
