Definitely. Because hot air travels to cold air very quickly, a higher exhaust gas velocity and a smoother flow is achieved, and the cylinder is left cleaner for the next intake stroke, increasing engine performance.

Extremely. They are designed to expand and contract with high temperatures, so they do not flake or peel with expansion. See similar questions...

As long as the piece is properly cared for and kept below the coating's prescribed heat limit, indefinitely. The coatings will also extend the life of the part 3 to 5 times it's normal lifespan. See similar questions...

A lot of the K1200RS and R1100S riders have their headers, etc. coated and most have reported very positive results. I've seen their promotional video and considered it before selling my K12. I personally don't plan to coat my Dakar. Kind of like it as it. YMMV. RogerN#827 Supposedly "JetHot Coating" has all the benefits as well as EXTENDING the life of header pipes, and has the added benefit of trick colors. See similar questions...

We offer 4 stock colors. These are Polished CermaKrome, Black Satin, High Gloss Black and Cast Iron Gray. There are other colors available and prices can be quoted on white, blue and red. See similar questions...

Chromex discolors only when a temperature of 1300 degrees is exceeded, at which point, the finish dulls, but does not turn purple or gold. Our satin coatings retain their color up to 2000 degrees. See similar questions...

Most ceramic coatings consist of the same base materials. The difference is HOW these materials are applied. At Classic Coatings, we have a long history of quality and maintain our certification in this area. We also have a warranty to stand behind our coatings. See similar questions...

Many of the ceramic coating products obtain their insulating benefit from reflectivity off the white or light colored surface, making them more effective outdoors than inside, where there is no sun to reflect off of the coating, and by the use of small glass beads, or ceramic microspheres, which trap air. Nansulate's unique Hydro-NM-Oxide material creates a network of nano-sized, twisting tunnels, which the heat energy has to navigate. See similar questions...

The only similarity is that they are both baked-on finishes. Powder coatings are baked at 425 degrees to melt the powder to a smooth finish. You must never get it that hot again, or it will burn off. Powder coating is basically very tough paint that is available in almost any color. Ceramic thermal barrier coatings were developed by NASA and the aerospace industry thirty years ago, for thermal insulation on rocket and jet engines. See similar questions...

The system can be installed under Energy Star roofs, with reflective coatings, with no appreciable performance loss. See similar questions...

A person's overall performance rating is one very important factor used in determining merit increases but it is not the only factor. See similar questions...

ProTek's Standard Bright White Color is the most effective. Once the coatings are tinted, even when tinted in light earth tones or pastels, reflective properties are decreased. Generally, the darker the tint the less the reflective performance. See similar questions...

First, we have not just one or two ceramic coatings, but an entire line of Ceramic Coatings specifically formulated for varied applications such as walls, tanks, silos, busses, trucks and containers, any type of roof (including asphalt and torch-down) and various industrial/commercial applications. Second, we also have an entire line of complementary products such as primers, caulking and rust inhibiting coatings. See similar questions...

Our coatings keep your manifolds, headers, exhaust pipes and mufflers from corroding or rusting. Coatings also retain heat within the exhaust system which give you a much cooler underhood temperature. A cooler intake charge means more horsepower. By retaining heat within the system, you create a scavenging effect which gives you more power. Our coatings can often also greatly extend the life of your parts. See similar questions...

Frost damage affects the materials exposed to water in areas where the temperature is liable to fall below zero. Water can penetrate tiles - and therefore a tiled surface - through their pores. If the temperature falls below zero, the water freezes and becomes ice. As every schoolchild knows, ice occupies a greater volume than liquid water, so tensions are created inside the pores. These tensions may become so high that portions of the tiles break off. See similar questions...

We recommend you using Windows95/98 or Windows ME to run remote control server. You will get a lower performance when using Windows2000/NT, because Windows2000/NT is base on Client/Server structure. At the same time, Lower screen resolutions can also improve performance. Unless you are using a very fast network connection, we do not recommend using high resolutions. See similar questions...

No. The resonators present on the GT do not restrict exhaust flow. They just reduce the volume of the exhaust. They can be replaced with a straight pipe without any adverse effects to increase the exhaust volume if desired. See similar questions...

Normally, most motherboards set the Cache Line Size of the motherboard primary PCI bus (i.e. system North Bridge) to 8, with some of the newer ones choosing 16. At boot time, the system BIOS copies this value to our bridge CLS register. The number is small where little bursting is expected; but smaller burst lengths decrease available PCI bandwidth. The tradeoff is that small bursts have smaller latency, that is, less impact on other devices waiting to use the PCI bus. See similar questions...

The amount of performance improvement will depend on the application and its ability to scale. Several of today's hottest games see a full 2X increase in performance. In general, applications running at higher resolutions with higher image quality settings will benefit most. See similar questions...

If you are hosting an MP game, you can turn off the "Allow External View" setting. If you allow this each time a player uses an external view (pressing the 8 key), then that increases the network traffic. For a small TE or just a few in a campaign, there should not be a problem, but if you are hosting a lot of players then it could create warping. See similar questions...
