i want to black out the exhaust on my bike, is it easier to get black heat shields for the stock pipes, or should i just look into ordering all new head pipes? if the latter, what do yall recommend? my main concern is to try to keep the bike fairly quiet (currently got Hooker Tuned Flow slip-ons, loud as hell)

 

Have the stock shields ceramic coated for under $100

 

I had my stock shields and fatshotz mufflers ceramic coated. About $100 I think?

 

That's really cheap, what sort of shop do I need to find to have it done?

 

Most powder-coaters can do it.

 

Make sure it's Ceramic coating and not regular powder coating. Powder won't hold up to the heat and it discolors. I used http://www.electrotechcoatings.com/ to do mine, great works and customer service.

 

would V&H True Duals give much of a performance/mileage boost over stock?
