eventually, just not right away. I want to get the exhaust sorted and a few changes completed before I take it apart and send it all out for a flat black coating.

I had been having problems with failing relays on my e-fan wiring harness prior to the teardown. After some research from what I read it looked like there were two companies that stood above the rest in dependability. The first I'd heard about before as have most here I'm sure; Bosch. The other was called Potter and Brumfield, anyway figured I'd give them a go so I ordered up a few. Showed up today, I'll report back and let you know how they work out.

is the coating going to be powdercoat or ceramic? I like the idea of coating the exhaust. if you don't mind, about how much does coating it cost?
