I don't know much about cerakote, only that it is typically used on firearms and now some olympic barbells as a highly durable finish. I did a quick search and it looks like a high gloss clear cerakote is available. Is that what you had done? Or is it a ceramic coating like Opti-Coat, CQuartz or Ceramic Pro?

A local detailer here in NY did this for me. He did my BMW X1 2016 before and I like loved the protection and ease of cleaning, hence one of the first thing that I did with the car. Installed Expell paint protection to Hood/bunper/side-mirror. Then Ceramic coatings followed. Tucking the wires for the Radar Detector and Dashcam and Exhaust mod followed.
What exhaust mod did you do?

Oh sweet. Did you notice any power gains? I saw the sound clip you posted, sounds pretty good!

MagnaFlow website says there is a gain. I am just not a believer of getting gains with just changing the tail ends. Sound wise....... I love it.
Yea, I would imagine any gains would be minimal, if anything.. I might look in to it, or wait until there are more options out there.
