I know we probably already covered this, but
what does the forum think about ceramic coated
mild steel for exhaust pipe material?  They claim
to be able to coat the inside of the pipe.

We used this on an exhaust system for a pre-war
Aeronca Cheif.  It only had a 65 hp Lycoming, but
we were using the coating for asthetics.  It was
cheaper than stainless, and to fix it all we had to do
was sand off the coating and weld it up.

Would the ceramic coating be good enough to keep
the mild steel from failing?   This would not be for a
boosted engine.

Good question Todd. I have yet to hear of anyone trying
it on a Mazda.
