Cerakote exhaust tips—change sound?

Hein Jockins · 05-24-2022, 11:49 AM

Seen a few posts regarding ceramic powder coating not changing exhaust pitch. Obviously most tips are powder coated with a more heat resistant coat, so that makes sense..

My question is if Cerakote would change the sound? I'm not all too familiar with it, but figured it might have different weight, etc. from a ceramic powdercoat. Does anyone have experience with this?

Won't change a thing.

Just an FYI it's not a powdercoat it's a 2 part ceramic polymer sprayed on with an airbrush or hvlp paint gun and either baked or air cured depending on the product

Yeah I know the process is different than a powdercoat. These cats use an oven, and I believe the coat can withstand up to 4000*f. I'd imagine our exhaust tips come close to 1000-1500*f on a solid hot track day, so I'll be more then good with this. Only reason I'm going with a cerakote is cause all my local powder coaters either don't do ceramic powder coat or have terrible google reviews and I've never heard of them. This is a gun shop, so I'm expecting them them to treat my eisenmann tips with the same care as their arms.

Edit:
I'll add too that the ceramic powdercoat prep was not done properly on the inside of the tips, so it's peeling. All labor is paid for by IND who has fantastic customer service (not sure what happened with their powder coater…but IND is always great to work with)
