Bad324 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 If all goes as planned I will be scoring a Leo Vince exhaust from ebay at a crazy steal. The issue is that its stainless steal and would stick out like a sore thumb on my bike. Can it be powdercoated without any adverse effects?

e-flores Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes it can be powdercoated I have seen it been done many times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 The actual powder options would depend on how much of the exhaust you wanted powder coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Also check out Jet-Hot coatings, designed for headers and exhaust applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Depending on the temperatures the part will see in use, it will be either Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coated or Powder Coated.The exhaust headers would have to be Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coated.The exhaust tip could be regular Powder Coated.Parts in between would be coated based on usage temperatures.Standard powder coatings cure at 275F and higher.Approaching or exceeding that temperature on a regular powder coated part wouldn't be good.

There are powders suitable for a midpipe and canister. If you want the headers done to get it all ceramic coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 it is just a slip on so what would I need to be looking at for that then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I had Mills Metal Works coat Schmuckgirl's Leo on her GSXR and the coating came off were the exhaust gases actually met metal. Were the packing was it stayed. Call these guys and have it ceramic coated, cuts down heat and keeps it inside the muffler.http://www.shearerfabrications.com/products.php?mainID=35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 That VHT stuff is junk, Ive seen turbo guys use it and it flakes right off after the first good dyno pull. I know they have a lot more exhuast heat due to restriction but bikes have thinner walled exhaust and rev higher and use different materials, I would say ceramic coated FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
