Performance Coatings in Auburn, Wa did this ceramic coating on the head/mid pipe for me. Works as good or better that wrap and doesn't rust the pipe out like wrap will over time. No clearance issue either as with wrap. Ti satin color - $135 for heat shield, header/mid pipe.

Yes, done inside and out - even did the heat shield as it will help also.

That is awesome. $135 seems like a steal for all that. Might have to consider that.

I thought it was fair, the bonuses make it even better - no fit issue, and wrap will rust a pipe out eventually. I have seen SM guys that have wrapped the pipe, what a nice rusty piece you get to uncover when you take it off unless you never get it wet or wash you bike.

Yeah, I have mine wrapped and I'm definitely concerned about rust and general fitment issues.

Hi All,
I seem to have a fuel boiling issue I am sure it is due to a hot exhaust pipe.
I am considering having the pipe ceramic coated. Anyone have any ideas on this instead of wrapping the pipe.
I live in Western Colorado and wondering if anyone knows of a good ceramic coating business.
Also does anyone that had this procedure done have any input ( is it worth the cost etc.)?

Thank you

Hi All,

To all you Hussy experts. I need to remove the mid-pipe on my 11 FE 570S does it remove from the rear or front of the bike. Does the shield have to be removed before removal of mid pipe? Does the tank or sub frame need to be removed?

Thanks

i took off tank, subframe, shock and right rear motor mount. did not have to remove the heat shield to get it out and i think it came out the back.

Concur with subframe, tank, top right side motor mount, and shock. I had to remove the heat shield, though, and it came out from under the frame member to the front. It's kind of tricky.

Hi,

I'm just about to do this to my FE390 as my bike is already in piece's and I figured why not! Have removed the front header, but this mid pipe has got me!

So fair I have removed the tank and shock. Does the subframe need to be completely removed?

I also found that bolt that goes threw the mount into the motor, very tight and was very hard to get back in just kept spinning, had to give it a couple taps with a rubber mallet.

Thanks!

EDIT: Got the mid pipe out, didn't need to remove the subframe, just loosen'd it as you do when you remove the fuel tank. Had to remove the motor mount.
