Anyone try jet coating exaust pipes with this product?

I just had my muffler coated on my Vector to try and cut down on under-seat heat. Next year I'll do the turbo and exhaust pipe.

I had my whole system done at Northeast Coatings in Berlin Ct.
They did the "Y" pipe and the exhaust side of the turbo housing with their ultra high temp coating (good to 2,000F) and the exhaust pipe with the standard 1,300F shiny silver coating.
I haven't run it yet, but everyone that's had it done says it works great and is worth the investment. About $210.00 for the whole thing.

I think I'll try the pipes this year. If it holds out well I will do the turbo housing next year. I wrapped the exaust pipes last year but some of those high speed runs eat away at the wrap in a couple of spots. Thanks guys

Swain Tech - White Lightning
I coated my entire exhaust system from the motor back and the heat shields. When I shut off the sled, any snow that drops on the pipes will not melt ~ it is that cool. You can even put your hand on it in the shop. Highly recommend. I have a S/C but this should work even better for Turbo applications.
Edit: this is Swain Tech White Lightning coating. All of my 2-s's I use Jet Hot.

Re: sled
The real bonus for you is that Fireball Coatings is in Ontario...so you wouldn't have to worry about the border, should you choose to have your stuff done by him!!

How is the heat coating holding up for you guys?
Summitking, you should give Alpine/Powderlites a call where they have there headers done. Last year I had my cpr header done in Edmonton with the 2000F stuff, it fell off. Another buddy had his boondocker header done also, it didn't work. This year I have a Powderlit header, and coating is standing up alot better, will be able to tell by the end of the season. I think the only stuff that works is the Swain coatings like the pics. Only problem for us its in NY.

Does the whole turbo need to be dissasembled to coat the center housing, or can it just be taped off and sprayed? I don't think oven temps reach operating temps.

It's the best I've seen yet, it's only been one season but running boost, it's doing great. I will be doing my Grizzly pipe the winter .. I won't use anyting else now, even for looks after seeing how WL performs.
