Exhaust Depot Downpipe... Ceramic Coated?

I'm planning on getting the Exhaust Depot Catted D.P. Is it worth it to get the $95 ceramic coated option or would it be better just to get the standard one wrapped? Is there a significant difference?

I'd rather put the money towards other things if it's not a noticeable difference. Guess the standard D.P. will do.

I had mine Coated and then I wrapped it too. I didn't want any melting to occur. So it's probably just me being paranoid, but that's how I did it.

Talked to one of the guys when I was down there a month ago and they are doing powder coating for $25ish if I remember right and it takes less time. I would have done it but I got a JCW exhaust. Call them and talk to them about it, to me it sounded like a good idea.
