Exhaust coating from Eastwood

Big topic for anybody that's ever built anything with an exhaust system. Been through it all from highest cost professionally coated headers, to BBQ spray paint. I like Rustoleum BBQ spray paint on certain engines. It's cheap easy and can touch it up any time. I've just about given up on anything used on headers.
That said, I saw this pop up again today. I've seen it before but never gave it a second thought. Has anyone ever used this from Eastwood with any success? Headers or cast manifolds? Over $22 oz. !! Asking for a friend. No, really. I'm not going to be the guinea pig anymore.

Reduces radiant heat OVER 90%!? That's hard to believe.

Re: Exhaust coating from Eastwood

^ With a reduction in heat loss, velocity is not as reduced, and extraction works better. I'm still shaking my head over that heat retention claim, though.

Re: Exhaust coating from Eastwood

For headers, I only have used Jet Hot ceramic coatings

For stock manifolds, I used Cast Blast. Its a spray can deal and then you bake it

worked well for me on a 327

It's made with PFM so everything on the label is true.

Re: Exhaust coating from Eastwood

.

There is a large amount of marketing content for this stuff out there and not very much real world usage data. Automotive forum searches turned up a lot of inquiries and folks saying they would test it but not much followup with results. Here's what I found:


Here's a short discussion some members here have had:

This appears to show data backing up some of the claims:

Product reviews from Summit Racing (5 reviews, one is interesting):
