Yes! That does sound good. No cats/heat treat would do for me. Very soon I hope!

Hopefully, a lot less heat under the hood allowing for cooler intake temps.
Apparently this Thermal Coating for the Downpipes has not been brought up before on any other threads ...
Even though I have not seen any real world testing on the ecoboost platform , It has been well documented to show underhood temperature drops of 25 to 50 degrees on other vehicles that I have read about in Hot Rod and other mags ...
Even in the OLD School Days of Headers we used to Wrap them in HIGH TEMP Insulation to bring temps down , even if it was to only keep from COOKING you feet on the floorboard .
The question I posed earlier was if anyone had done this on there downpipes ? .... I guess not ....
I think it will be worth the extra expense
I would only attempt to do this to a set that one may already have , only If you have access to a High Temp Curing Oven .
I don't believe the Themal Coating that Stainless Works uses is any ordinary run of the mill High Temp Paint .

Here's the FAQ from the mfr that PPE uses for their coating:

If you want to add it to your Downpipe order paypal me $175 to info@ecoboostpowerparts.com and I'll get it added.
I'll update my website tomorrow to add the option!
Thanks guys

OK, just PP'd the $175.00 Please have PPE do the coating on my ordered DPs... Thanks Mike for all your help on this.
Maybe I'm crazy (highly likely in any event...LOL) ... and I had wished for a little more info on the tech sheet... but .... In Phx I believe it is even more important to keep heat saturation and under hood temps down than most places... and the sheet did have this to say:
"WILL I SEE A TEMPERATURE CHANGE? Parts will run cooler. Engine oil and water temperatures have shown a reduction. On headers the radiated heat will be substantially reduced leading to lower underhood temperatures and less heat absorption by nearby parts and surfaces."
Since it worked on headers I am betting that it will have significant effect on heat saturation of components in the closed up SHO engine compartment by coating the DPs..... and that my turbos will thank me for cooler intake air in our summers.

I like that part too!
Only way to know would be to have two cars with coated and non coated identical setups driving around together and data logging.SHOdded said:
I'll make sure we do some temp readings on his car once they're installed as far as the downpipes and under hood parts (intake manifold) to see if we see a difference.
how is the quality of the cats used on the different brands of downpipes ? I'd worry about them crapping out 15k miles later.
I never noticed any smell on my Mustangs with deleted cats. And in TX I can't find anyone to even want to remove my third cat much less the downpipes for non catted which I want to save the extra money and not have a crappy cat in there. I'm not worried about some teenager wanting to look under my SHO for visual cat inspection, plus I like the idea of the sound from stock exhaust with non catted DP's. But I'm saving $60k for a downpayment on a new 3 car garage (house comes with it lol). Plus I'm building a 68 F100 So I'm not in a rush to mod the SHO.

So a catted setup will smell worse than a non catted?

A set of catted PPE downpipes are the next mod I'm considering, but prices need to come way down before I get serious about it.
I bow to 4Dr's experience... so I expect no odor.MTaurusSHO said:
I will be able to give an educated opinion after I get them on my ride... We'll be dynoing so they will be incidentally tested for odor then. I just don't personally know about the Magnaflow free flow cats that PPE is using as far as odor. ...
BUT... I do want to exhaust mod and the bolt-on WHP without emissions problems.. odor be damned! Many (and I) do notice an odor after spirited driving with stock cats. So no odor is nice, but moot for me.
