Best Rocket3 Pipes I've had so far

I almost asked the question about the header on Geoff's because it appears that he has the stock header. It is not a full on clear shot butt is somewhat in view in the one pic.

Also, I know the coating you use has been discussed in a couple of threads but it was like I was coming in late. Bedifferent mentioned his set that you are making being sent off to the powder coaters in another thread. I found that the 1200 deg F rated powder coats would not stick to even exhaust shields. What coating do you use. I've thought about ceramic coating the exhaust shields on my son's Rocket after the powder coating has failed twice.

Powder coating is just paint Mike.
Check out www.hpcoatings.co.nz => hpcoatings > Exhaust Heat Management
This is a high temp coating that will not burn off, it also has an internal Ceramic heat barrier coating as part of the process.

I guess it's kind of paint. The 1200 deg stuff was advertised as suitable for exhaust heat shields but it clearly failed on my Rocket. The coating company finally quit using it.

I'm wondering if we have access to that HP Coating here in the US. Ceramic has been used on exhausts for years and is fairly durable. The Thunderheader I installed on my Harley Super Glide was black ceramic coated and it is still looking good.

Tim, this is my latest development.
You drop everything from the stock header back, Cross over pipe, mufflers, brackets, the lot.
This system slides straight onto the stock header then bolts up at the passenger footrests. Simple.
This system will fit all Model Rockets, the Touring requires the mufflers to be sitting flat, I've not done this as yet, but as soon as some one asks for it, I'll do it as it is a simple mod.

Also my Free flow header as you see on my bike below, will then slide straight into this rear end system, so you can purchase either part separately, then add the other at a later date.

This is my bike with the development pipe.
Note; there are no heat shield/covers fitted as there is on Geoffs bike.
