Mark's exhaust is on the way, now what?

[dannymax]

I have been debating doing this to mine also. Would love to see a pic of yours if you do this.

Kevin...I had the black ceramic system on the '06 originally. This should give you a pretty good idea what your's will look like.

Well, except for the polished cans...that is!

But, with one black ceramic system and one S/S system.....I got an idea!!

I like this Dannymax's way of thinking! His methods may be outside the box but effective!
I was wondering if anyone had taken Mark's cans apart? They look like there's just 3 bolts on each end and the outer skin would just slide off. Or am I missing something like it sealed/ held on with adhesive making removal difficult?
If I get mine done I want everything coated black except the outer skin which I want a polished look.

He's weird....but he means well!! :rofl_200:

I talked to Mark about getting some turndown tips and would they be difficult to change....he said they could be tough sometimes.

I don't know why as I was looking at it the same as you....just slide the outside wrapping off....that's all I know about it, figuring his remark was enough to change my mind.

I'll prolly send Mark the cans and let him do it if I change my mind.

Thanks for the pic's Dan. I do like the looks of a black exhaust. My SS exhaust is changing colors and I am not too hip on the look.
What is the difference between ceramic and powder coating? or are they the same thing?

powder can't stand the heat of exhaust typically so you use ceramic powder. i'm not sure if the curing process is the same exactly but its a similar process just for higher temp applications

 

[dannymax]

The ceramic will turn colors also....maybe not as much as powdercoat, but some.

This pic doesn't show it very well but the front headers turned slightly brownish, they didn't stay totally black.

I think all single walled exhaust's are going to turn to some extent, there's no way around it.

I kinda like the coloring....it shows you ride the bike!! :biglaugh:

Here's a couple different Mark's ideas, black ceramic pipes w/brushed aluminum cans and S/S pipes w/black ceramic cans.

'98 Jet hot coated black through Sean, formerly chrome Kerker , with c.f. can . Adding the c.f. belly pan this week , so some of the pipe will be hidden. Sounds good , not obnoxiously loud. unk:

Been giving this some additional thought Chris.....the only other thing that happened to this bike was a high speed collision with a truck (and a few guardrails)....nice to know I rank above THAT!! :rofl_200:

Thanks, I still haven't decided if I want to try and angle them up a little, maybe 15 degrees or so. I would have to move them farther back, so not sure how it would look, or if they would clear the shocks. Guess I'll just have to get the pipe and try it sometime.

 

[Nicki66]

Great looking bikes guys. I am liking the black pipe look.

I ended up installing the mid-pipes with 11 degree bend, what do you think?
