I need to coat my older side pipes. It's been recommended to me to powder coat them but I concerned the coating will not handle the heat. I've heard of Cerakote which is a high temp type of powder coating or should I do ceramic?

Looking for your experience with any of these options.

Thanks

Don’t powder coat them. The heat will melt the powder coat. Ceramic coat is best

You can't powder coat the pipes---well, actually you can but the powder won't take the heat and they'll end up looking like this:

Go with ceramic.

Just had mine ceramic coated. $250 for the pipes and hangar brackets. Mine were raw steel to start. Multiple color/chrome options available.

had mine ceramic coated 15 yrs ago holding up fine but starting to show it age polishes up nice still

Had mine ceramic coated in 2004. Still look new. I polish them with an aluminum polish like Mothers once a year and they get even brighter than new.

I just sent all my pipes and headers to Jet Hot to have their thermal coating put on. Not the cheapest way to go but supposed to be the best based on a lot of forum opinions. Ceramic Header & Exhaust Coating | Jet-Hot

After 10 years, my headers were not looking good. A friend had his done and they looked great, so I shipped them to Performance Coating in Jonesboro, Georgia. They blasted/stripped them, applied a high-temp Ceramic coating, and returned them to me in less than 10 days. They look FANTASTIC!
Called them and talked to them before I shipped (770) 478-2775.

Mine have been ceramic coated for a few years and I have been really happy with how they have held up so far!
