I would not coat any intercooler pipes.
Ceramic coating intercooler piping.
I did ceramic coat my intercooler piping on my mpi car it uses an air to water intercooler ceramic coated that too and routes the cold side across above the radiator.
Learn why industry leaders recommend that you get your vehicle jet hotted.
Jet hot coatings are high performance ceramic coatings for exhaust headers side pipes manifolds intakes mufflers turbo housings and other parts.

When you coat the external and internal surfaces of your exhaust system you ll improve their performance and longevity and possibly avoid costly repairs later.

On my non intercooled flatty ovcp i used a thermal dispersant coating to try and get rid of heat faster.
Ceramic coating can be applied to any exhaust piping turbochargers housings and much more.
We also offer thermal dispersant coatings that will act as a radiator or intercooler which helps remove heat from the parts its applied to.
Http bit ly 2mdcqd3 my first attempt and ceramic coating at home.
Pipes are cool the argument is that powdercoating the intercooler it self hinders its cooling effect powdercoating is think and will take away from some surface cooling area and act as a barrier where heat transfer is reduced.
Ceramic header coatings by jet hot improve the look and performance of your vehicle by reducing heat and corrosion.
We can apply this coating to intake manifolds or any part you want to stay cool.
A ceramic coating will simply keep the outer layer of the piping cooler and this gives you no advantage performace wise.
If this were a header then you would want this but we are talking intake pipes where cooler is better.
Copper is a much better conductor of heat than aluminum but aluminum is lighter and you can put more tubes in the same amount of space thus.
Ceramic coating was initially developed for the aerospace industry and like powdercoat it found its way into the automotive industry.
So you ve reduced the thermodynamic efficiency by coating the intercooler with a ceramic coating.
My intercooler pipes are black painted if you prep and paint it correctly it will hold and look good.
