Just curious if anyone as powder coated their exhaust pipes. If so, was there an impact to the pipes. Did it help or hurt with heat from the exhaust?

i ceramic coated the pipes and it reduced the heat significantly.

Powdercoating is not an issue, once cured the powder can withstand exhaust canister heat without issues, besides your canister will never reach temps in excess of 450F, for extended duration :thumbup

What color is that?
Is that anodized or powdercoat ?

 

[babyherc]

it is ceramic coated chrome color.

it is ceramic coated chrome color.

I never thought of that. I suppose that would actually work better than powdercoating. Will have to check and compare the costs associated btwn the two.

Thanks.

I will try and get some pics up later, but I have my pipes powdercoated black so they blend in with the underside. No problems here

Oh, I would loove to see the before and after pics.
I thought about doing mine myself as SEARS has a powdercoating tool for about $130 I think. Will also need a toaster oven that he heat up to the correct temps and I'm sure a few other items, but not sure what at this time.

dude take it apart yourself and get it powdercoated at the local, it will probably cost the same amount as all the shit you're gonna buy plus it will look a whole lot better... trust me, its something you want to do properly...

I used high engine temp paint on my cans and they turned out great. sorry no pics. though and i think that it cost like $2.25

On my old FZR I used BBQ paint for the pipes and it worked great.

Yeah I found a local shop that does bike pipes and can powdercoat them with a high temp silicon powder (satin black) or ceramic coat them with satin black ceramic or standard Polished ceramic finish.


I think the black finish will look hot with the carbon cans....:thumbup
