The biggest issue with these type of coatings is when you need to do a weld repair. The coating is ceramic and needs to be removed in the area to be welded. When I converted over to the G3 I just painted the exaust with a good high temp header paint. It is cheaper and is easy to make repairs. Just my .02 worth.
Header paint is what I do, too. Let's face it, a rear end shunt on GEN3 is potentially a lot more expensive than GEN2, thanks to the exposed collector gusset. Adding another $250-$300 for coating to that repair will only make matters worse.
On the same subject of repairs, my current SRF came new with a powder coasted frame. My previous SRF's frame was painted with Rust-O-Leum Pro. It wore like iron and was much easier to repair.
