Default Black pipe questions!

Ok gang Ive got some questions.

I like the style of the D&D Fatcat 2into1's or the Bassani Road Rage in black as well but have heard the Bassanis have issues with their coating as well as their heat shields only being in chrome, not black. Um lame. I cant find the D&D's in black for my year, 2008.

I would like to hear your guys suggestions on this style. Who else makes black pipes that you all are happy with, heat wise, performance wise, etc..

I would also like to hear from you owners of the Bassani and Fatcats. Do you think they are too hot on the leg, did your coating wear off because it was cheap ceramic (or just paint) etc..

Who cares what they make in black............pick the pipes you like and send out to Jet Hot!! you'll love 'em, easy to clean and maintain.No issues with pipes turning colors or fade,im sure there are a few rides here who've done em.....my Badboys' had powder coated pipes for six years. no problems

Love the look of that pipe but haven't heard much either way on performance or fit and finish. Can you post a pic on your bike or ideally a sound byte? What is your favorite characteristic of the pipe?

This winter, I had my heat shields powdercoated and I painted the mufflers with Krylon hi-temp BBQ black. I had a little discoloration on the heat shield right at the port (but it's still black). Other than that, no troubles as of yet.
