I have a 2005 800 Sportsman and am considering getting a new stock set of header pipes to send in to be coated. Is there any place online I can get a set that wont cost an arm and a leg? Even a good set of used would work for this. Let me know is you have any ideas.

Thanks

Rob

 

just wondering, who you going to get to coat your pipes and how much. thanks

 

I am looking at a place called Classic Coatings in Appleton, Wisconsin. I had emailed them a week or 2 ago and the guy who replied said they could coat them, but I should send them a picture of the exhaust. I did not do that yet, but he guessed around $150.00 to coat them. I believe that is coating them inside and out. You would want to ask them that, as I cant say for certain. I saw a pair of headers of a small block chevy racing engine that was coated there and they looked really sharp. If it dont cost to much to get a set of stock pipes, I will probly get it done. I would UPS the pipes to them and they ship them back when done. The place is around 1 hr 45 minutes from me, but shipping is easier and probly costs less than the gas I would use going there. Here is a link to their website -

Breeze lawn and garden on e-bay 100 dollars for the pipe.

 

Jet Hot's coatings are very durable.

A friend had an old 500 and they it had someone's cheap ceramic coating on it, but it still radiated a lot of heat.

Jet Hot contents their coating reduces heat by half and I know Hot Rod magazine tested that theory some time back. That and corrosion resistance are the reason I did it. But it looks nice too.

You may want to talk to www.PerformanceCoatings and www.ClassicCoatings for quotes. Both have websites.

I got a quote from them for about $100 + S&H to them.

"We'd charge $75 to coat your header in the Sterling finish. Add $20 for
the flat black, blue or grey finish. We'll need them here for 3-5 days
plus shipping time back. If the parts are chrome or nickel plated, add
$40 to the total and 2 days for stripping. Return shipping would be
about $27. I will send you our full information package to get you all
the coating benefits in greater detail.

Jet Hot also carries a coating called JET-HOT 2000. This coating runs up
to a temperature of 2400 degrees. The JET-HOT 2000 only comes in a flat
black, blue or grey finish and has a gritty texture on the outside. The
Jet Hot 2000 runs $25 more than the sterling silver finish and $5 more
per ft. This coating takes 2 days longer than the sterling silver
process. We suggest JET-HOT 2000 for set ups with nitrous, turbos,
superchargers, or towing vehicles.

All parts receive a 3 year unlimited guarantee that covers chipping,
peeling, cracking, discoloration, rusting. New parts also get a
lifetime rust-through warranty as well.

Please ship your parts to:
