Just following on from my project thread for thought I would post up the costs

Zircotec® coatings are proven for application to a variety of materials providing a high performance ceramic thermal barrier coating, which improves the efficiency of exhausts and prevents local component and chassis damage from radiated heat.  In recent testing surface temperatures were reduced by ~33% for our Performance Range and ~25% for our Primary Range; both may be suitable for your needs but more details are shown on our website https://www.zircotec.com.
 
Our coatings are not paints but ceramics applied using a plasma spraying process which ensures an extremely well adhered, durable coating with an extremely hard and durable surface that is highly resistant to vibration, mechanical damage and thermal shock. The full process, which is suitable for both new and used exhaust systems, consists of: masking where the coating is not required, surface preparation, spraying of base coat and finally spraying of a ThermoHold® barrier coat. As we use plasma spraying process the coating is to the external surfaces only with no preparatory work required by you. 
 
The natural colour of our coating is white/cream, but many of our customers call for the very highest level of performance offered by Performance White™ but also require a coating with a finish that can be more easily maintained. To meet this need Zircotec has developed a range of high quality multi-coat colour finishes that are applied over the top of our standard plasma-sprayed ceramic. The full range of colours can be seen on the attached link (http://www.zircotec.com/page/-_performance_colours/47 ).   Our Primary range is only available in a matt black finish.
 
Regarding pricing; for a Peugeot GTi 6 manifold as shown in your picture, the cost to coat is £168 for Primary Black™; £239 for Performance White™ or £275 for any from our Performance Colours™ range.  Prices exclude shipping and VAT.  Turnaround time is approximately 10 working days with payment accepted via credit card or bank transfer.
 
We can arrange to have TNT pick up your parcel and send it back, once coated, for £25 plus VAT. (Applies to a single box under a metre in length weighing no more than 20kg picking up from and delivering back to a UK mainland address) 
Please ring our Production department to arrange this by calling 01235 546050 option 2. Alternatively email production@zircotec.com. Please remember to have your package weight and dimensions to hand when contacting us. Please ensure that your components are packed securely as Zircotec will not accept liability for damage caused in transit. Please follow recommended packaging guidelines in the following TNT link http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home/support/paperwork_and_packaging/packaging_advice.html 

You can ask for 3 samples of colour choice that you have to pay for but if you do get work dine they take the price of your final bill

Thats cheaper than i thought it would be

Does this extra heat get passed down the exhaust then and what effect would it have on the rest of the system?

Looking for:
VTS P1 Rack
PR1.2 16"

So that is even cheaper then the offer they made me last year,

Yep I guess now they have more customers the price has come down

So why not a 400+ supercharged car

Would you get the CAT done aswell or just the manifold, I imagine that a large amount of heat gets passed into the cat?

Or decay then, that's still right up in the bay and passes the power steering (iirc) getting heat out of the bay totally would seem the ideal option or am I looking to far into it?

Pretty sure they can only coat bare clean metal, so if it was a used system it would need to be completely free of carbon/oil build up inside and out. Something to think about for people considering getting it done, they might need to consider getting the parts acid dipped and chemically cleaned.

Harness bars

It does say above its for new and used items, when I phoned them she didn't say anything about me needing to get it chemically cleaned etc

The begining post states that because they use a spray process its only external.

It's not really to stop corrosion but more to keep the heat in and keep the engine bay cooler. That's how i have read it anyhow
