Fantastic job, and read! You probably know this already, but, just in case you don't, D&D, recommends using the perforated baffle's with Wood's cam's. I went with the wrapped version, and they're still loud. A very pleasant loud, but loud, none the less. I can still hear my radio, but, I have an amp, and 4 speakers. Just food for thought. I'd love to hear your input, on the heat reduction of your chosen exhaust, before and after you Cerakote it(them). FYI: Rush Wrath and Dragula 2's, are already ceramic coated.

Thank you for the compliment. Good info on the D&D. I’m running a coated FM 212 header now, so I doubt there will be any heat reduction either way. I’m pretty dang happy with the performance, so I may just stick with the exhaust that’s on it for a while. I take decent road trips, and what sounds good for an hour, leaves your head ringing after 8. We’ll see.
