Sean,
That-a-way! When will it be available? Have you tested internal cat temps to verify that they aren't overheating internally? Be happy to beta test the insulation on my rig......

The heat stays in the exhaust gas and is expelled out the tail pipe.

it's not just for racers..... Though clearly they need it too!

I've also have been working on a solution via a unique plasma applied ceramic process. Still working through some issues, but love Sean's insulation solution too and might just go his way instead....
I wanted to test internal cat temps in order to verify that coating wouldn't cause the internal cat temp to exceed 1650 F at which point converter precious metal begin to migrate and loose efficiency...

Internal temps exceed 1200 F at a constant 3,000 rpm.

Skin temps exceed 800 F with the sill cover off! Imagine insulated skin temp....

But the real test is exhaust gas temps. I have my left side completely ceramic coated (98+ shorty header back to muffler) and the right side OEM (uncoated) to muffler with temperature taps in each side.......
So far unexpected results that require more research....
