camcoat - ceramic exhaust coating

[ENGAKATS]

Hi guys,

I want to send my headers to camcoat but I haven't decided yet what ceramic colour to ask for... :rolleyes:

I'm between the satin black and "cermakrome" (polished). These are the only examples I've found on their website:

and

Oh! This is my bike:

Any advice or pictures with the above coatings from camcoat??

Thanks!!

:cool:

Mmmmm, Satin Black:)

far to new look for black got to be polished looking at wheels and brakes its to high tec for classic black look

[faith-healer]

Get the "standard" black coating 'inside' the pipes and headers and the "Cerakrome" polished on the outside.

The inside coating helps the gas flow and reduces heat build up in the exhaust system.

It's all there on their website and if you get both done at the same time I think it works out a fair bit cheaper.

Very interesting but the price list is dated 2002!

Since the view of your headers is restricted by the fairing I also suggest going with the Matt Black option.

The range of Gloss colours is interesting mind :)

I already spoke to them today and they quoted me 85+VAT for inside out... ;)

Better price compared to Zircotec's 230+VAT :eek::eek: (they use different technology though, but still....)

with that swingarm, the modern look of the bike along with the latest in radial calipers and wavey discs I'd have to go with the cermakrome, the black would just be out of place unless you powder coat the frame and swingarm black and swap to a yellow body kit

Now that is a good thought Mmmm.???:)

So Zircotec is 3 times the price, but which one uses the better/more efficient technology that provides the biggest performance increase? I'm genuinely asking as I'm ignorant about this technology, but curious.

If you said Zircotec would give 10 percent performance improvement, whereas Camcoat's website only says 5 percent, well £230 + VAT, in the bigger scheme of how much I'm spending on my bike at the moment, is not that big a deal!

Chrome would be my choice

Thanks all for the answers so far.

I'm not really looking for the best performance just by coating the headers (on my engine, the difference - if any - would be minimal).

Maybe zircotec's coating is better if used on more powerfull vehicles...

Why do you think this would be minimal on the 1000DS engine? Being air cooled I'd say heat dispertion would be a very high priority if you wanted optimum performance from this engine.

[ENGAKATS]

because I never thought that by coating the exhaust headers I could see such a big difference on the actual engine temperature/performance



anybody here who has tried both Camcoat and Zircotec??

Recently done by Camcoat on the same model. They say it should last for years. Service was very good.

Certainly for race use then heat build up is a real problem for maintaining power and getting rid of it by whatever means possible is a good idea....my 800ss race bike really suffered from it. For road use it just isn't a problem at all and I'd spend my money on other things.

thanks for the post!

Do you have any more pictures of the headers??

Have you installed them already? I picture of them on the bike would be even better!


:)

[GDBD59]

Might be able to oblige in a day or two. PM me your email & I'll send you them.

I guess the headers are more visible than I thought:

Indeed! Makes it difficult to decide... :confused::rolleyes:
