They look awesome! Wrap a few lights around them and they will be the best looking tree ornaments of the lot.suhawk305_imp said:My Jet-Hot coated header pipes arrived today despite the icy rain today. I am very happy with the results! Cost me $192 for the "Polish" coating of the 4 pipes and the catalytic converter, same of the quoted price. I don't intend of making any other modifications to my CB1100, it is the way I want it...I have old school tastes.
The only downside of this experience is with the independently owned UPS Store. I brought the pipes to them, which were carefully packed by my Honda dealer, and the UPS store refused to insure my pipes unless they pack them in their box. They quoted me $164 to insure and ship. I had no idea what to expect with the shipping cost, so I let them do it. I wish I read this thread beforehand.
Right now, I have my shinny pipes next to the Christmas tree. The pipes will stay there until my wife discovers them and make me to take them out to the garage!

Thanks all. I was tempted to have my pipes Jet-Hot coated for a while, but then I saw mtneer's coated pipes at the WV Rally this past summer. No more temptation, I had to have it done to my pipes. Thanks mtneers!

Yeah, been thinking the same for a few years now. I spoke to Jet-Hot earlier this year - a bit of a pain to send item south of the border. However, there are similar services in sketchy remote areas of Ontario.
Your results have awoken the beast again.

My understanding is with metallic ceramic coating technology, they will not tarnish or blue. In fact, they are significantly more resistant to tarnishing compared to chrome.

PB, Jet-Hot has a lifetime guarantee on their coatings. I have not read that any forum member has experienced any discoloring of this coating, see ChipBeck’s post above.

Did you mean "after" and "before"?
. Not sure if Jet-Hot will add blue/discoloration/streaks to pipes.

That's what I meant: Did they return your calls/emails? If so, can you share a quote and any other preconditions for their work? Some customer reviews appeared underwhelming and I was hoping they were exceptions only. I am interested in your experience (so far).

They look great Mike! Now you're tempting me to get mine done. I'm going to spend some down time polishing mine soon and if they don't come out the way I want them without too much effort I just might make the leap.
BTW that UPS store blatantly ripped you off. Those are franchises, not company owned and you should have been able to insure them as they were originally boxed. I would contact UPS corporate and report them.

That's great PB.
Meanwhile, a firm in the "deep south" Ontario indicated $255 Cdn + tax for similar results as suhawk's. Includes:
* Acid soaking of pipes
* Treatment of header pipes inside and outside surfaces
* Treatment of the exterior of muffler box only (attached at the end of the header pipes)
There are 10 process steps that take about 12 hours to do. Interior pipe treatment is a 2000 degree F coating. The final "chrome-like" product will not tarnish or blue.
