Coated pipe

[farmerboy]

Have an exhaust gasket gone so pulled my pipe. I am thinking of spraypainting my after market pipe with Hi-temp engine enamel. Has anyone had sucess? Has anyone ever wraped it with header wrap?

i used high temp header paint a few times, seems to hold up. bought it at napa

Just get it ceramic coated. It holds the heat and has real snappy power

X2 that just had mine done, and by far the cleanest and best finished product.

Where? How much is it usually? How long does it take? Thanks

I had APP in St. Albert do mine, he doesn't do it there but can have it done. I had y pipe, expansion pipe and stinger done and it was 300ish maybe 350ish i have the recipt at home dont remember the exact number but somewhere around there. It was about a week turn around time. Very happy with the results.

Wow Looks very nice Makes it look clean and tidy. I might as well get it coated because everyone I have asked at auto stores look at me with the deer-in-the headlight look when I ask about header wrap. I found some on line and it was $100

Just call impact coatings in Edmonton that's probably who did it for app anyway. I had pipe and y pipe done there two years ago and I am pretty sure it was under $150 and they do a wicked job still looks perfect after 2 years.

Thinking of getting my pipe ceramic coated so called Impact this morning. Their turnaround is 5 to 8 days, costs approx $130 expansion chamber, $40 for y-pipe, $65-80 for muffler, they try to get inside as much as possible, parts are dipped in a cleaning solution then baked prior to coating.

There was a 20% cleaning charge if the pipes had been run before, thats probably where the 300 guess came from. Make sure when you get everything back take a rubber mallot and lightly tap all the peices to make sure all the polish beeds come out, probably not important on naturally aspirated, but BAD BAD for turbos.

Top Gun Coatings in Calgary did a good job on mine.
Prices were similar to what Stg2Suby got from Impact.
