I bought this set in factory black. If you already have chrome, send it to these guys. They did a system on my last bike with black ceramic and it was outstanding. Fast turn-around and a very fair price.

Smile Flat Black Pipes
I also have a 08 Crimson Red Touring Bike. I went with the D&D Fat Cat pipe in black. Get alot of compliments on the flat black pipe. I like the flat black or satin black with the crimson red. Just my own opinion, but I don't think gloss black and flat black mix well on the same bike. Chose one or the other, but not both.

I bought some Duracoat to put on the Sportster's pipes. It is used for machine gun barrels, and the hotter it gets, the harder it gets. I haven't put it on yet, but it's on my ToDo list. I got the chrome/silver color, but other colors are available.

Can't talk to durability, but the "look" is KILLER. Go for it. Leo's bike is a good example.

i had my headers, heat shields and mufflers all ceramic coated for $300. they also have a high heat clear coat that they put on so it gave me the gloss black look i was looking for. i got over 4,000 miles on them and they still look like the day i got them.

They sound great, the radio is a little hard to hear when traveling over 80. When I’m not in the throttle I can stay under anyones radar.

Bike looks GREAT I have an 09 Elec Glide Stand Denim Black and really like the ceramic look where did you have them done and what did it cost if you don't mind would like to have them done over the winter. Thanks for your time
