Damn, that exhaust looks good, I was thinking about getting my D&D ceramic coated to match my headers.

"Your uploaded image exceeded the maximum dimensions of 720 x 1000 pixels. Please shrink your image to be smaller than these dimensions."

This is the message I get if I try to get a better looking picture posted. Anyone know what i should do? I have a ton of really nice pictures but I am not sure how to post them without them looking like crap. Thanks.

NO I used an Olympus D-370 digital camera. But In order to post the pics I have to make them look really crappy. I am unsure how to fix it.

Take the large image from your camera, and shrink the image size. Example: Go from 1280px x 960px on your camera down to 640px x 480px. The resulting image will actually have a better resolution (dots per inch) because of the resize.

just out of curiosity, does the ceramic coating add much ( noticeable )weight?

spatten- I paid a total of $238 when it was all said and done. $25 for the shipping, $123 for the header and $90 for the exhaust pipe. The sterling silver is cheaper than the rest of the coatings. I did the header pipe in their blue 2000. They have two other coatings though, besides the blue and the sterling silver. They have a grey and black coating as well(check out lonexb's bike to see the black finish on the headers, they look really good as well). Jet-Hot did both of the coatings. Check them out at Jet-Hot.com. Todd is the sales guy and he will be glad to answer any of your questions. Nice people to work with.

Deerhunter- The coatings add no noticeable weight at all from what i can tell. They do strip the paint or whatever material that is on the pipes all the way down to bare metal. So with the exhaust pipe I am sure there is no noticeable weight change at all, from what i can tell.

Thanks guys. Can't wait to get them on the bike. I will post pictures as soon as I am done.
