After a few calls to the Man.... Something really sweet shows up!
Thanks Jerry!
Thanks mitch
Crazy what $500 more than my Zilla cost me looks like in 4 pieces of metal on the ground!
Why 2 HPR#19's Dez?
2 '87 LT500s
Now to figure out what finish should go on them...
I can't wait till the other parts show up!
I wish I had the mullah you got man I'd love to have one of Jerry's pipes and will someday but ill have to make do with my dinky Q pipe for now. What did you do with your DCS4?
Nice! How much is one of those pipes?
$925 I believe raw plus shipping. So about $1000 to your door moto.

The DCS 4 will be going in for retrofitting to DCS 5 specs.

Jerry is getting $1K per pipe! Plus shipping
Ceramic finish.
I was looking for info on pipe finishes. Does the ceramic coating change the performance characteristics of the pipe?
Simple answer to your question Dez is yes. What type of change it has would only be determined through dyno testing. At least that's what I was told by Mat Shearer.
I was told what it does but I forgot already .. Man alzheimers
Dale's chromed HPR#20's look damn good I'm a sucker for that bling on a 2 stroke pipe though.
Yeah ... I seen the #20 on the dyno a couple times...
My #19 is ceramic coated & has stood up well to the sand blasting nature of the dunes. As far as changing performance goes, my butt dyno is not that accurate so I can't really tell.
Thanks for your input Brian. That's what I needed to hear...not much difference. Sweet
Not a fan of ceramic coating on 2 stroke pipes, 4 strokes yes, I like Nickel over Chrome, just seems more durable, less peeling, over bluing, and easier to polish the finish when dulled from use, Nickel does not blue, goes beige/brown and polishes out.
just my $.02

This..... ceramic holds a lot of heat in the pipe,Good on a 4 stroke not so much with a 2 stroke. If the pipe was designed as raw a pipe as the #19 is, it will change the way the pipe acts. Jerry did a write up about it either here or the old site. I'd go nickel or chrome.
nickle turns yellow, chrome is the only way to go.
1 grand for a exhaust!? Good god.

Yeah but... You seen the dumont dunes videos. You gotta pay to play!
Yeah Im thinking nickel or chrome.... But I'm gonna try the mo fo out first!
Chrome pipes typically have more cracking problems than pipes that are nickel plated. Hydrogen embrittlement often occurs at the interface of the chrome and steel pipe body.
Be RedNeck , Paint it flat black and have it done~!!
That's the way I want mine!!
...or bake the pipe at 375F within an hour of the plating process for a minimum of 3hrs to remove all hydrogen embrittlement.

I know that but how many platers will bake it for you or call you when the plating is about done .........so that you can be at the plater waitng for the plating process to finish................. so that you can rush home and bake it?
I've had a few important aircraft parts chromed, and its been my experience that as long as you specify in the order you want the parts baked, they'll usually do it at no additional charge.
Any reputable plating shop should have the capacity to bake parts, otherwise I wouldn't bother with them.
The oven gives the chrome a barely perceptible straw color, so you know if they actually baked it or not.
These guys have always done excellent work for me, but they don't accept decorative chrome:
