I was leaning towards Performance White on the headers, but I decided to go with Performance Graphite. It matches my color scheme better and it will be less likely to show wear.
Zirocotec ThermoHold Performance Graphite
The catalytic converter assemblies will generate a lot of heat so I had Zircotec cover them with ZircoFlex SHIELD. The assemblies were; (1) plasma-sprayed with ThermoHold Performance White, (2) wrapped in fiber insulation and (3) enclosed in a hand-formed and welded 0.1 mm thick shield. This is the same process that they use on F1 cars and the workmanship, particularly on such a thin material, is outstanding. Unlike other dimpled materials that I’ve tried, you can easily handle the assemblies without denting the covering. All of this comes in at a price. Covering the small catalytic convertor assemblies cost more than double the cost to coat he headers and merge collectors.
The welds are craftsmanship are spot on
ThermoHold Performance Graphite on the headers and merge collectors; ThermoHold Performance White, fiber blanket and ZircoFlex SHIELD on the catalytic converter assemblies; and ThermoHold Performance Yellow Gold on the heatshield
Given that the engine is out, the next step is to fabricate a heat shield between the cross-under tubes and the dry sump.
