Ceramic coat 1700 exhaust

jp58 · 12-23-2011, 07:47 PM

Well got my exhaust pipe back from the ceramic coater. Looks so good i hate to cover it up with all the chrome heat shielding. Supposed to reduce heat 50%. We shall see. Also wrapped the crossover pipe with DEI titanium wrap. They could'nt ceramic coat that without discoloring the muffler.

It will be interesting to see if it does anything to reduce the heat passed on to the rider. Please keep us posted.

I didn't realize the claimed heat reduction that it offers. That may be worth it on the hot days.

Well its winter here. so will be a long time before we get a warm day.

Great stuff, I had the headers for my 87' Camaro done inside and out. They still look great and I did them ten years ago.

Good to hear that.

Aside from heat reduction, is there any other advantage and is it a long and/or expensive process?
Thanks for your time

The pipe is ceramic coated inside and out so i would think the pipe would never rot. But i did it for the heat reduction only. The cost was $140.00 plus tax. Had it done localy. If you have to ship. You would have that cost. The wrap on the muffler pipe was $15.00 for a 15 ft roll. Still have half left. Took about a week to get it done.

I've not heard of this process, and I don't have a heat issue with my bike. But do you have a link to the ceramic process they used? Thanks.

The 1700's seem to run hotter than our bikes Gerry, Thats why guys are trying stuff to cool them down a bit.

Gerry. I dont know off hand how they do it but it does soak into the metal.
Does not make the pipe thicker. Website is www.classiccoatings.com
They may explain it on there somewhere.

Thanks I visited the site, looks and sounds like it should help your situation, let us know in the future how it works for you. I couldn't find anything on how they do the process, but it is probably similar to applying chrome.
