With respect to ceramic- I have in my hands (in my trunk, actually) ceramic coated AR downpipe. The ceramic option is noted on most vendors' pages. Of course, not having installed it yet I can't provide longevity data, but it looks well done.
I also found the same frustration when looking into applications/cross-compatibility. I think the main factor is laziness- er prioritization based on market size- among vendors. Different pages show compatibility across 5 and 6 platforms, and/or between S63 and N63 or N63TU, and others don't.
In the end, I pinged the manufacturer and while there was a short wait did get a direct response that provided the asked-for part number for my application, which I then took to a retail vendor.
I suppose there's a certain PITA factor to be expected with aspirational Marque...but I don't much like it. And dealing with installers has been a complete joke thus far so I guess I'll be busting the wrenches out.

Since the post you quoted, I determined that the downpipes for the N63 and N63tu are compatible - they are the same between 550 and 650, not sure about 750. I almost purchased the ceramic coated AR downpipes with hi flow cats - they are dreamy
. I will probably add them next spring to keep me from getting bored.
Please keep us updated on your install and results!
