Pitz

I used something similar to paint my motorcycle exhaust- the cans looked very similar, but I think the paint was rated at 1000*.

Also, with that ..ahem.. blockage in the cat and a hole saw sitting right there........ how could you resist :-p It'll be welded together.....

all the tubing is painted with the 1200* flat black stuff your talking about but the stack is done with the 500* gloss black because that is the highest temp gloss black I could find and I wanted gloss not flat



as for the second part of your question all I can say is "no comment"

That is freakin' awesome !!! I love the cat mod - don't patent that yet, I'm thinking of using it. MUST HAVE SOUND CLIP.

Looks great!
Where are the all done pics!?
And a video



Only thing I might question, is the cat location...
I believe it has to be in the factory location(or close to it), not sure if theyll raise a stink about it or not, heck in Texas they dont even look anyway

I like those short stacks but you know the smoke will clip the tailgate right.

Awsome Mark, keep us posted.

it mounts higher then the pics show....that was just to find where to drill the hole...it's a 36"er just like what come in the kits







Thanks for the complements guys...pics and sound clip are loading now....................

Ok here are some pics







Note because of the dang t-bar clamp the stack is not up to cab hight in these pics like it should be...it also makes it "lean" a little because I had to tighten the clamp down so much...it will all straighten up when I get the other clamp.

Dude, that looks so mean!

How's it sound from inside? Any sound clips yet?

Pooter

Looks great!
I like the height


Now wheres that video?
j/k, I know it takes a while to upload those

Now for the bad news...my t-bar clamp did not hold the stack tight and it slipped down and messed the paint up


tailgate down...

looks awesome man.
im not even a stack kinda guy, unless you got the smoke to fill it.
But in this case the black stack and black wheels look VERY NICE!

Pooter

One idea could be to tack the clamp to the stack, then paint it.
But I know you are waiting for that other clamp. Other than that, make sure there is a hanger on the underside, supporting the weight of the pipe/stack.
Then all the clamp in the bed does is keep it from going side to side, no weight hanging down on it to slide down...
