FuelMoto 2/1/2 stainless steel headpipe w/HTC coating
Been meaning to pass this info along for those purchasing and installing the FuelMoto 2/1/2 stainless steel headpipe with the ceramic "HTC" coating. When I received my FuelMoto headpipe back in October I took a look and saw something I didn't understand. I was looking for the brick-red colored ceramic coating inside the pipe as is clearly shown on the pipe photos on FuelMoto's website. I didn't see this obvious coloring and thought that I got a pipe without the ceramic coating.
A quick e-mail to Fuel Moto answered by concern. Within an hour Brian at FuelMoto responded back (customer service doesn't get any better than that!).
Brian explained that they used 2 vendors to apply the ceraminc coating. One used the brick-red colored coating and one used a grayish-silver colored coating. In a follow-up e-mail he went on to say that the interior coatings are 2 mils thick and there is also an exterior coating that is 3 mils thick!
One installation tip I can pass on may be useful. Get a replacement set of new stock exhaust gaskets, not the Screamin' Eagle exhaust gaskets that I picked-up since the FuelMoto pipes have flanges on the ends that match the stock gaskets. I didn't realize this until reading the install instructions and had already purchased H-D gaskets and clamps ahead of receiving my FuelMoto pipes. Also WD-40 sprayed on the exhaust joints worked to make removal of stock equipment painless.
Bottom line - I'm another satisfied FuelMoto customer running the DynoJet PC-V, Jackpot headpipe and Jackpot 4 in. slash up mufflers (along with Arelen Ness Big Sucker air intake).
