Perfect! Is it expensive to have done?

I guess I should have listed that too!

I inquired for my last bike, that having a single cylinder pipe, done all the way to the cat, if I recall it was $80 assuming the pipe was new and didnt need to be stripped of chrome or chemically prepared, which was an additional $25-$30 I believe. I bought this bike mid-February and was going to have it done before the riding season began, but was woried about potential problems with the warranty should there have been something wrong with the bike from the factory, I wanted to get some miles on it before I sent the pipe in.

Turn around was quick, something like 3-5 days and they could speed that up if needed. Now that you mention it, I think I will order some new exhaust gaskets next week. When they arrive, I may pull the headers and cat eliminator pipe off and ship them out to be done. You have inspired me.....

I sent them an email for a price quote, I will post what I find.

Here is some infor for everybody about this:

Thank you for your interest in HPC. The cost to coat most 4-1 motorcycle headers inside and out up to the slip-on with our HiPerCoat® polished aluminum finish is $185.00, outside only is $140.00. If needed we can also coat the slip-on (as long as it is not carbon fiber) or just the inlet and outlet of the slip-on. The cost to coat the slip-on or just the inlet and end cap to match the pipe is $35.00 - $40.00 for each muffler. Colors other than polished aluminum such as semi-gloss black and gray, flat blue, green, and red add $56.00 to the header and $12.00 to the muffler(s).

Used or chromed headers will be chemically, thermally and mechanically stripped before a final preparation blasting is done for coating. We do charge $20.00 - $35.00 for this service. HPC guarantees against rust and corrosion for as long as you own the coated header, regardless of whether the parts are new or used.
