oK,, I'm just posting this thread to ask if any of you Buellers have tried this yet on a buell pipe!! ((NOT HEADERS)) I used a similar product with lower heat res on a two stroke racing moped pipe. It held up during a weeks worth of testing. I don't know from there because i sold it. That was a long time ago, this powder coat is a newer one then that the one i used back then.

Keep this in mind i just checked on the numbers and heat resistant Gloss Black
paint is like 550 or 600 degrees and thats made to go on the head of a motor.

Anyway i'm tired of painting my pipe and then seeing bits of rust a year later. So i wanted to try something different. It's under $20 and my buddy powder coats so I will let you know how it goes i already paid for it. I would like to know if anyone else has tried this and if so how did it go and how is it looking today?

Also how hot do our headers get?

Y not ceramic coat them?

 

[brightbuell]

Powder coat is $20, i would love to do the ceramic but its the money thing.

What did you pay for the whole package to have them ceramic coated?

 

[Got jack 7]

I don't recall the price it was some time ago that I did mine. But if ur buddy is doing it see if he can do urs next time he doing a batch of ceramic.

Ok First question WTF is this eye hole scew thing doing just inside the entrance to my pipe???? There is a sew nib on the out side that is holding it in place. I need to know can i remove and just weld the hole closed, or is there a reason for this thing to maybe brake the flow and make a noise difference? Or is it for back pressure?

Here is what i found under my old paint. A hair line crack. This is why i strip my own parts because had i dropped this off to be sandblasted and powder coated they would have just covered this up. This would be a major cause of rust or even worst a blow out so things like this have to be fixed. Drip some weld on it and it's good to go!

That screw with the washer inside the pipe is an old "tuning" trick to fix an exhaust that doesn't do what it's supposed to, ie; flow correctly. Turn the screw/washer, it messes with the exhaust pulses, it _might_ help fix a flat spot in the powerband, but I'd imagine it's not doing you a lot of good. You'd have to do a lot of testing to prove or disprove the benefits.
