Nope, no ceramic coating, just high temp paint. After your first run on them, they'll start to turn gold or bronze or maybe a little blue. But to start, it is that shiny.

yea takes a solid day maybe two of driving before they will change. make sure when you install you wipe them repeatly to take off any finger prints or smudges because they will be baked in there too.

yes make sure you check the bolt hole locations in comparison with the gasket. i had 3holes that were WAY off, had to take the header to my local tuffy and they drilled the holes out for 5 bucks. then after i got back the header wouldnt clear the tranny case so we had to heat the pipes and bend the entire header under one of the lift arms.
this header has some fitment issues but once its on the car it does a good job and is great for the cost when the only other alternatives start at $450. just make sure you have some spare time and an extra ride when you start to do this install
