it's actually a pretty easy job, as long as everything comes apart without stripping/breaking

Default Process - spraying and baking yes - material no.
<center><img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/shawfm/Ko4%20installed/cat_turbo.jpg"></center><p>The true ceramic coating holds up far better, and keeps the heat in. The cat was coated by Swain with a true ceramic coating. The mani and turbo exhaust housing were coated by Jet Hot with their black high temp "ceramic" coating. It went from black to this color really quickly. The Swain discolored a little. The temps near the exhaust side went down dramatically.
