I'm getting tired of this crap!
Why is it, that the bikes that need stainless the most (utilities made for harsh environments) are the last ones thought about by the pipe companies?
I want a stainless steel pipe/muffler from the head all the way back, and since I don't want to go up on the decibel level for hunting purposes I don't really expect much performance gain - I just want stainless steel dammit.
Who do you have to kill to get it??

Stainless would be good... But what do you think about taking your stock pipe off and having it ceramic coated? Also, I was thinking about using the heat wrap and mabe some silicone spray coated over for protection... Anyone got any ideas... Out of these three options ( stainless, wrap&coat, or ceramic) which do you think would be better and why? I saw the spray coating in an automotive perf. catalog. The wrap and coating would be cheapest probably less than 50 bucks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I've had ceramic pipes in the past, lasts much longer than paint, but still fails eventually - especially on the inside. Still though, it is a better alternative than just the flat black paint.
