I'm a fan of Ceramic coating. This is what the factory header looked like after getting it done. It was $180.

If you want shine ceramic coating will get the job done. I'm one for wraping the pipes.

Not 100% sure who that was directed at, but mine is a stock one as well. Took off a V&H full system to put the stock back on. The PO didn't take care of it, and it didn't perform worth a crap. That' supposed to be chrome.
