What's the difference? Are there any performance gains with either, or is it simply cosmetic? | ||

I think Jet-Hot is better. They'll do your headers and exhaust for about $240. Colors are limited though. http://jet-hot.com/ Ceramic is good, but for the price, you're better off with Jet-Hot. I believe the difference is that Jet-Hot coats the outside and the inside, where ceramic is just the outside. Both will help performance by keeping the temperature down. I don't know about performance increase with powder coating, but you have to use high temp powder and again, colors are limited. | ||

yes, go with jet-hot | ||

you can get the jet hot coating done through american sport bike.(board sponsor)for $190 with exchange for your old pipe.and that includes shipping both ways.   | ||

Jet Hot and ceramic is one in the same.Jet Hot is a company.They coat inside and out if you go somewhere else all you have to do is ask if they will or if they do the inside as well. | ||

Ceramic coating is intended to accelerate the speed of the exiting exhaust. Supposedly, this occurs because the exhaust is kept very hot as it travels through the pipe - maintaining energy instead of the pipe absorbing it. If you get pipes ceramic coated, make sure you do the inside and the outside. | ||

I know a good coating and cryogenic processing guy in North Georgia. Does excellent work and knows his metallurgical stuff. | ||

DO NOT powder coat your header!!!!!! It will blister off. I had my nerf bars on my sprintcar powder coated and the header comes out in front of it, didn't take long to distroy the powder coating. | ||

They make high temp powder coat that will withstand 1100 degrees. You can't use regular powder coat on it. (Message edited by DaveINM on April 14, 2005) | ||

I'm calling Al. I can't believe I didn't know he could have these things done in colors other than silver. Black is what I'd like to have. Thanks for all the advice and explanations. | ||

Black would look great on your bike. I wouldnt go with any powder coat. I would stay with a ceramic coat(my 2 cents). My pipes are ceramic coated and performance wise its hard to tell. only on a dyno could you maybe see the performance increase. |
