Headers are an important part of the exhaust system of a vehicle and connected to the side of it’s engine. Headers are mostly made up of solid steel tubing and act as a link between the engine of a vehicle and its exhaust system, as it transmits the exhaust from the engine to the exhaust. Many harmful chemicals are produced during the exhaust which can harm the header, so a ceramic header coating is brilliant idea to prevent this.

Headers coated with ceramic are safe from rust and corrosion and such coating can also be applied on manifolds and exhaust systems. It increases the life of the header as they are more resistant to various harmful chemicals and thermal stresses.

Ceramic coating applied to headers provide better look than the looks provided by other methods like header tape, paint or powder coating. Ceramic coated headers are easy to clean because of the hard and smooth nature of ceramic coating. Painted or chromed headers are prone to oxidation, but ceramic coated headers don’t undergo oxidation.

Ceramic header coating protects the headers from thermal weariness which are caused from repetitive temperatures and colliding hot gases. It improves the performance of the vehicle, as exhaust gas velocity is maintained through the exhaust system.

Ceramic coating is applicable on both new as well as used components and has a long life. It makes us feel secure that our components are safe and will provide better performance. Ceramic coated headers prevent the other parts of the vehicle from heat. The ceramic also act as as barrier between the header and engine due to which less heat is produced.

The ceramic coating applied to the inside of a header is also valuable as it makes the interior surface of the header smoother. The exhaust gases can escape faster after ceramic coating application inside the header. It also reduces the turbulence in the system.

Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat due to which it is used as an insulator. It can be applied to different metal surfaces like iron, steel, aluminum etc. Ceramic is an alternative to ceramic coating, it can be cut and wrapped around the header or exhaust. Various other kinds of coating like heat proof paint, powder coating or exhaust wrap are also available in market but ceramic coating is considered as the best solution for headers coating.

There are also some disadvantages of ceramic header coating, like the engine will take a longer time to some extent to reach the operating temperature. The additional heat present in the exhaust can expose any stress points or weaknesses in the exhaust system.
