Hey everyone,
So, I’m getting my exhaust headers ceramic coated. They’ve been running super hot, I even got the bike Dyno Tuned and the guy did manage to lower the temp, but it’s still uncomfortable (at least for me from someone who lives in the city). I spoke to Paul about ceramic coating and he told me that they’re ceramic coated on the inside, so I guess this will be an external application.
Because there’s chrome on the outside, they’ll have to chemically strip it, but won’t guarantee that the plugs will hold to stop the acid (or whatever it is) from getting on the inside.
This legit ceramic shop I’m speaking too claims they rarely heard of anyone doing ceramic coating on the inside of exhaust headers. My question is, is this a sign that I should look else where?
When asked if they could coat inside they said “it’s a wet application our ceramic coating so we’ll try.” The process to strip the chrome will take 3 weeks, then the ceramic about another 2 or 3 weeks for the coating, curing, etc.
My other last resort would be to have Paul make a shielding piece that goes from the stock headers, to the twin muffler system, and then maybe sale the Viking headers. But I haven’t heard from him.
