Toybreaker Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Ok I know you can get em chromed, high temp paint anyone had their pipes ceramic coated? I have had headers ceramic coated and bought them that way but never seen Banshee pipes (any pipes 2 stroke or otherwise) available with it done. It would hold more heat in the exhaust.... possibly worth a little more power????? :shrug: Want to get my shearers coated.(virgin, never run yet)... in socal. any ideas?

ClimbAnyHill Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 You're absolutely correct. Many riders have their pipes coated & besides the forums always see it at the shops. Had a long talk with a reputable shop who serviced my Shee cylinders. He had his dirtbike header coated as well. I did a home made black ceramic outside my T5's & hold to heat very well. No bubbles.. No flakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumminsman Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I had my T5's ceramic coated by Jet hot coatings and they came out absolutely great. The pipes went there with a TON of rust and for $200 they came back looking better than new. Great well known ceramics leader. I have pics http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=27813498 But im not sure how to post them on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 How about a link for Jet Hot? Those look really good! Any blueing on the headers after running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 www.jet-hot.com I had my raptors header done on my stainless steel sparks 6x. The head pipe did dull up by the front two primary tubes. It happend when it was bran new coated and I put it on my 720 stroker build for the first time firing up. The pilot circuit was lean and the header glowed with in 30 seonds of running. That is what faded it. A 2 stroke exhaust should look fine since there pipes dont really get as hot as a 4 stroke header. Copper would be a head turner if it matched the color scheme. I had the sterling color done.

cumminsman Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks for posting the pics guys. They say they can turn them around in as little as 5 days if you pay a little extra for shipping. Mine were gone for two weeks which is supposedly the average. I haven't put my banshee back together but my brother runs jet hotted headers on his 70 cuda dragger and no blueing or discoloration.

gregrob Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I painted mine metallic gray and they came out really nice. Ride the bike to warm up the pipes and paint them with regular paint. Bakes it on and your good to go. Couldn't find hi temp in the color I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckheight Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have the shiney Jet Hot coating on some T-5's. So far so good, no discoloration and fairly durable. Have not noticed any difference as far as horsepower. If there is any difference my "Butt-O-Meter is not detecting it... In fact. I get a more noticable performance increase from a bean and cheese burrito in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhc500 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) I have the shiney Jet Hot coating on some T-5's. So far so good, no discoloration and fairly durable. Have not noticed any difference as far as horsepower. If there is any difference my "Butt-O-Meter is not detecting it... In fact. I get a more noticable performance increase from a bean and cheese burrito in the morning I am thinking of having my FMF Fatty's ceramic coated... But would the pipe holding additional heat from the coating "STEAL" horsepower in theory? Headers and exhausts are designed to dissapate the heat, and many racers ever use the header heat tape to keep heat down? The coatings look great though...
