The Thorley IS a much higher quality piece, and there's no reason to ceramic coat it. It has a protective chrome finish (not a "show" finish). I've had mine for several years, but I wouldn't do it again - no real performance gain that I could tell.

I always get asked what the thing attached to the header with a hose clamp is. It's the stove for the warm air tube that goes to the air cleaner. And I don't use Fram oil filters any more, either...
