You will love them. Not a bad idea at all to have them ceramic coated. I do notice quite a bit more heat under my hood when I raise it up after a cruise.

No, I've never had my hands on a pair SOLO's for anything. The SOLO's might have a slight edge over these because it looks like the cats have more volume than these ones, but you might loose that in the resonator... It's hard to say. Whatever difference there is power wise between the two, it's probably very minimal. The biggest difference will be the sound as the SOLO's have resonators and these do not.

I just need to decide if I want to ceramic coat them silver or black now... HMMMM...

IDK what most places charge, usually a couple hundred bucks and up depending on what you're doing, what you're doing it with, and who is doing it. I have a buddy that works at a company here in town that actually makes ceramic and powder coatings, so I can usually get a pretty smokin deal.

Is it just the pic or does the opening on the ARH one look kind of jagged?

The flow bench says that these flow 29% better than the factory double catted down pipes

I'll probably do the ceramic coating before I install them.

It's fine. Better than 1/4" of weld sticking up all the way around the inside of the flange like the stock one.
