Message	the black coating is for dissipating heat correct? does it matter if the exhaust gas looses a little energy before it exits through the cats and the muffler? I understood the concept of getting much of the energy as possible from the manifolds to the turbos, then from there I'm a little vague on the theory of exhaust optimization
