I'd honestly like a proper answer because I'm thinking of doing this for my new turbo soon.

I'm no expert in ceramic coat but IMO its job is to keep temp in the exhaust housing and not to let the temperature out I may be totally wrong so with this theory your intake pipes will be trapping heat and not releasing it. Meaning longer heat soak

Yes relentless it is the job of the ceramic to keep the heat in the exhaust because the exhaust is damm hot and we dont want that heat in the engine bay. IMO the idea behind coating the intake pipes is to keep the pipes from heating up. So for example where the intake pipes run over the top of the turbo. Coating these intake pipes would definately reduce the amout of heat they absorb from the turbo and headers. But my issue is that the intake piping will also eventually be heating up as a result of the hot air running through them and since the out side is coated the inside becomes the most effective place to shed that heat. This could be overcome by coating the inside as well but most people try to avoid coating the inside in case a bit flakes of and makes its way into the engine. That said the chance of ceramic coating flaking off from an intake pipe is probably about 10,000 to 1. So I think I just convinced myself to do it.

I think I'm just going to do the exhaust manifold and exhaust housing ceramic coat silver I'd rather be safe then sorry

Cool

Why not get a roll or two of exhaust tape and wrap the intake pipes then stick a temp probe just before the intake manifold and see if it makes a difference?
