Default Powder Coating Thunderheaders?
Has anyone had there Thunder Headers powder coated? I have mine in chrome and they are bluing pretty bad and its driving me crazy, so I was thinking about powder coating them. So, just wondering if any of you have had it done, and if you ran into any issues? I just think that it would be a bit more difficult due to the cone at the end of the pipe. Anyway, Id appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

ya but you have to use high temp powdercoat, reg powder coat will form like this white dust, that pipe gets hot, use high temp will work just fine

Why not just get the pipe covers.&nbsp\\; They'll hide the blue and be nice shiny chrome.

Any update on high temp PCing? Ceramic coating or spraypaint do the job?

Default High Temperature Coatings
You can look for Jet Hot coating in the phone book and get it done there. I have no experience with them except lots of guys have had their racing exhaust done there.
Or you can try it yourself...

I think I'm going to pick up some VHT and do a $18 coat with primer. Can't justify paying that much when I already paid a grip for the exhaust and I'll probable just drop it haha.

Ceramic coating is what you're after. Cerakote is a popular brand and a good product. I had my pipe twisted and coated, here's the result (could also have gone black, but I wanted silver):
