Yup. Also, you would see more benefit from coating your exhaust manifolds as opposed to your downpipe. You are going to gain more thermal efficiency benefit pre-turbo as opposed to post-turbo. Talk to Clay at Riffraff Diesel. He has been doing some interesting tests with ceramic coating.

You want as much pre-turbo coated as possible, post turbo do not bother. You should aim for the most temperature difference out of the turbine, so do not insulate the materials post- turbo with ceramic. It is more important to coat the INSIDE of the pipes, not the outside.

Oh and duck fan, your title should say: Basura Blanca,

Im only doing the downpipe cause it is so close to the firewall (Aussie set up) try and keep the heat out of the cabin. How is this coating applied ?? is it a dip method ??

No, it is applied with several coats and baked on in between.

Anybody consider this type:
JET-HOT Coatings Header Coatings Page

I'm curious how it would hold hold up.

When I first started looking into it I called several companies including the above, and there numbers just weren't impressive for heat retention. The coating I am currently using was developed specifically for the military and guarantees 60% heat retention.
