Kerker kz1000 4-1 cheap

obviously needs some work, but the price looks good for someone with the right skills

Not bad at all for $50...good for powdercoating,like the Seller says.

At the temperature the headers run.....powder coating would melt off. Looks a bit rusty. Maybe paint or a jet coating would be best. But with all the troubles...... you could probably purchase a new Kerker for the same amount.

Keep on looking, way too much work! Best use for that pipe would be on a piece of Yard Art.

or a mad max bike! :evil:

Powder coating "melt off"???? Hmmmm i been powder coating heads, headers, cylinders and most evrything else on a wide variety of bike and auto motors and i have never seen it melt off. its way tougher than paint and unless chipped or scratched deeply should remain in good shape for years.The pipe in question looks to me like after a 1o or 15 dollar sand blast and a high temp paint job 5 to 10 bucks, would be a decent pipe for an econo bike or a race bike. decent pipes are hard to get for theese old bikes , especially for the vintage retro looking stuff. i dont disregaurd any of this old hardware any more. just to dam hard getting the cool parts from back in the day anymore. anyhow just my opinion...take care...jonnybiker

I'm glad jonnybiker said that cause my valvecovers on my big block chevelle were powdercoated maybe 7 years ago and look as good as the day I got them done.
Yea I know they dont get as hot as exhaust but they get pretty damm close

I agree that powder coating is the best, just wish I could afford it!

Powder coating is just plastic .
It "remelts" right around 400f .
If your BBchevy gets that hot ,the powder coat failing is the least of your worries .

You CAN NOT use it on the header system at all , maybe the muffler (but why bother)

I use stuff called "gun coat"

I need to chime in here and tell you all what I know. I've been powder coating rusted header pipes on cars for years. I use high temperature silver powder coating and it works great. No problems with discoloration or (melting). It can and is done all the time.
