    I purchased the Neuspeed Hi Flo Air Charge Pipe and the awe turbo outlet pipe this week and I was thinking of either having them ceramic coated or purchasing some heat wrap tape such as dei or similar.

    Is it possible to ceramic coat a small part like that at home diy or is there a better way to go about this all together?

    Thanks.

    up to you.

    Ceramic coating protects but wear it out faster.

    same for wrapping, however, you may take it off whenever you want. Up to you.

    My only concern with wrapping is the awe turbo outlet pipe is very close to the under drive pull and the Neuspeed Hi Flo Air Charge Pipe is very close to the fans.
    If the wrap even loosens up even a bit.. It could get ugly.

    How does ceramic coating wear out a pipe faster? lol
    If anything it would make it last LONGER.

    OP, I think ceramic coating would be overkill on a Discharge pipe and/or a TB pipe, unless you got a hookup for a local company that can do it for cheaps.
    I plan to just wrap my TB pipe in DEI reflective tape (and discharge pipe when I buy it).
