As part of the Astra VXR engine conversion into the Corsa race car it was decided to have various underbonnet components - exhaust manifold, turbo housing, exhaust downpipe and exhaust front section - ceramic coated. This has been carried out by Zircotec with the Metallic Black finish. Ceramic coating not only significantly lowers exhaust temperatures and reduces heat loss from the exhaust resulting in lower engine bay temperatures but being coated in a metallic black finish they also look good!!
