How much is that ...and where can one send things?

TIA

Just google or look at yahoo yellow pages under powdercoating. There will probably be ten of them in your area. They will usually do either ceramic or pc.

I would still recommend against it. Most of the cars that said they did well with it have front engines. I can only assume that the exhaust heat is much more intense having the engine in the rear with less plumbing to get to the exit. Then again, I can't really back that statement up. As I stated before, the EGT's are crazy hot back there. I actually had my tips off for a day (during my personal attempt at painting them with high temp paint) and it melted my stock bumper. The heat that comes off a 996 is no joke.

 

I agree. After I posted about no issues with the Cayenne I thought about the difference in engine location. The tips on my 996TT certainly got MUCH hotter than the Cayenne's.

 

ATL Shaver,

Nice Cayenne, and nice CRIB!

Deputy is about right, my EGT is usually around 1100 to 1200 once the car is warmed up and I am on the freeway cruising around 75mph.

 

Easy problem to solve. Just remove the cats and the mufflers. Strait pipes ensure that within a few hundred miles of driving, your tips will be completely black! AWESOME!!!

 

I would think ceramic would be the best bet. Looks nice and good for up to 2000 degrees.



Though you could give "Dupli-Color® High Heat Paint with Ceramic" a try. It is supposed to handle 1200 degrees. I used it on my (Supra) muffler and it looks surprisingly identical to the actual ceramic coating.

Make sure you prep really well though.

 

(I did the TJW mod which is sort of this....still have the primary cat of course)

 

that cayenne is sick!
