The muffler can is stainless steel. Should the muffler can be coated? I guess the answer is how fussy you are. Is there a difference between the Jet Hot header coating color/hue and stainless steel muffler can? My answer would be yes, but close enough for my expectations. On my 2014 Standard (same exhaust part numbers) the Jet Hot coating has a different texture and maybe slight bluish tinge. Keep in mind, this is my interpretation and someone else (like my wife) could use different descriptors.

Looking at the CB’s exhaust system in person would be better, but TX to NYS...
If you want better closeup pictures, let me know. And if you do coat your muffler can, don’t forget to include the shield.
