exhaust temperature?
So I am looking at doing some powder coating on the exhaust. The guy I talked to yesterday said his standard coating was good to 300 degs. $20 more for the high temp coating. I guess I just answered my own question on which one to get but does anyone know how hot the pipes get right by the cylinder? $20 more for the high temp is plenty worth it to me. I would imagine at idle on a hot day they would get petty hot.

I've read somewhere that using an IR thermometer on the head pipe, the rear cylinder can be around 300*F, and the front can be around 270*F.. but it can be hotter than that.. i went with ceramic coating on the pipes im having done just for that reason, although powdercoating would have given me the color option i wanted. oh well. do you not have heat shields that could be PC'd instead?

Its a 2 piece heat shield that I'm gonna leave chrome and get the head pipe done in black. I think the ceramic is satin black from what he said, should look pretty good.....in my head anyways.
