Not sure I follow?

Inside and out coating is supposed to be superior to just outside coating.


Cracks can happen, even on coated pipes. If you need to weld or get the cracks welded then how would someone weld a coated pipe? Unless the crack is at the end, sanding the inside of the pipe to remove the coating to get a proper weld is virtually impossible.


If the coating fails/chips then it could get sucked back into the combustion chamber. This can sometimes happen depending on the expansion differential between the coating and the metal.


This is worth a read. Just opinions, but it summarizes some concerns:

Opinions can vary.
