Ceramic Coating Header


I was looking at the Sidewinder today and (like cannondale27 said) the hole in the tunnel is closed, but ventilated.

Update. Swaintech White lightning lasted 2 seasons. Its pretty much gone now. Flaked off so dont bother. Will wrap it again.

I've had swaintech do a 2smoke header, can&pipe, plus turbo housings on my diesel... held up great. In fact, I'm going to send out a header and turbo housing for my viper.

The pics you posted when you got it done didn't look right to me- whole header should have looked really white, like next to the flex joint. Was it wet when you took those pics? Is that rust peaking through near the flex joint? I haven't seen anything like that before, with swaintech.

No it wasnt wet. It held up well the first season. Think I should contact them? Have time yet but I understand the temps being dealt with here. But thats why I went with the best. Normal Jet Hot or Ceramic Powdercoating wouldnt have lasted a ride before dulling for sure. Am Kinda pissed it just flaked off.
 
I would contact them, and I'd offer the pics. To me, that doesn't look right. The temp of a na 4 stroke is not as bad as turbo. And I'd be pretty ticked, too. Call em. I would.

I've taken a steel brush and solvent to that stuff, to scrub it clean from oil stains, and the coating wasn't damaged.

Whats that over your reverse actuator? Ive never seen that. You make it or is it from a different yearyear?

Thats the guard that Sidewinder has on it. I have the actuator off every year so figured the metal would help prevent tabs from cracking and keep heat off it.
