I just called, they said they would do it for $100 if we brought them in at the same time. Down from 125 - 150

I'll need an official head count and give me the estimated length of your pipes so I can give them the most accurate info before the final price is given.

Is that coating the insides?

They coat the outside and inside of the headers. I'll call a few more places and see if they can beat the $100 quote.
Btw the turnaround would be 5-7 days

What would the thickness of this coating be when dry and would that affect the inside diameter of the pipe?

I've been thinking of doing this too. I too wonder about the inner diameter and thickness of coatings. What are the major benefits? How much weight does it add? Actually wondering if there is much of a plus to doing it on my ST4s. I know the seat gets a bit toasty due to the vert cylinder exhaust being right there under it.
On another note, a friend of mine had his cylinder and piston done for his minimotard that he races in TXminiGP. He used
www.engineceramics.com
and was very pleased with the service. Said the guy was cheaper and got it done when he said he would. Does it in his garage evidently.

The coating is very thin. The main concern would be where two pipes come together, male/female so to speak. If it's already a tight fit, it might be a problem fitting them back together. They should be able to tape that area off, or at least recommend a way to protect the joint, or not. I had posted a local place a couple months ago on a ceramic thread. Don't recall the name without searching TOB.

For your consideration, I have an '06 ST3, so all the exhaust headers are shrouded (hidden) by the body work - I wrapped the pipes in Thermo-Tech copper-coated tape, and the difference is amazing.
I believe the tape will contain far more heat in the pipes than the ceramic coating,
You can do it yourself in a half day,
It's cheaper than ceramic coating,
Surprisingly big jump in performance,
On my bike, it can't be seen anyway (it's not particulary pretty).
Anyway, I'm VERY happy with this small investment I made. Thought you might like to know.
Pura vida!

I'm interested in this too. I have the full Termi's for the 1098. I just really am dreading the removal of the header pipes. They aren't easy to remove or replace.

Yes, I'd like to know where you got the tape, quantity, and price.
Thanks!

I didn't have too much of a problem taking the full exhaust off of the 848. I'll try and find a bit more info on the endurocoatings and find a competitor or two for a price match or better

Not sure if coating/tape is needed yet. Rubina (my 848 to the rest of the world) is at AMS getting a full termi system and tuned.
