For anyone interested in powdercoating their exhaust, I would suggest Cerakote high temp ceramic coating for exhaust. The glacier black looks gorgeous. In my opinion the quality and look of the finish is much better than the general powder coatings used.

I had my Ducati exhaust coated with the Glacier Black Cerakote.

It still looks 'ok' except for about 2" from the head's exhaust ports.

I had my Softail Slim exhaust coated with a product called 'Turbo X' about 6-7 years ago and it
still looks great even near the head exhaust ports.

If I had to do the Ducati exhaust again, I would go with the 'Turbo X' coating.....
