i heard you can do that, i guess they got some high temp powder coating stuff, anyways if this is true is there away to powder coat the inside too?

No sorry I should have went into more detain.

Looks like crap,doesnt last as long as you will like. The hi temp powders have a grit like finish. Looks like someone tossed a handfull of sand in the powder.

Powerder coating will not last on headers and although high temp paints endure the high heats of headers, they don't perform anywhere near as good as a ceramic coating.
