Complete Exhaust White Lightning Coated By Swain Tech

UP bushman · Oct 20, 2011

Hey riders here it is my complete exhaust system White Lightning Coated by Swain Tech. Product looks great with awsome workmanship and exactly what I requested. The total with coating and shipping both ways was $220.00 with 2 week turn around. The coating is only available in white but is paintable with high temp paint. I will assemble this weekend with pictures to go along with it.

X2. Also looks like a much better solution to the factory heat shields.

What exhaust is that?? Love the coating.... Years back we had a local guy doing high heat ceramic coating. he would dip the entire exhaust so both internal and external got coated.... back then they had dyno #'s to back it up too... but since has gone out of business.... not enough interest.

The Exhaust is an Aaen muffler and the coating keeps exhaust gases at higher temps for better combustion burn and exhaust flow. Optimal temp on inside of pipe is 950 degrees or more for exhaust to flow quicker. The lower the exhaust temp it will cause more restrictive flow.

This seems like a really good deal. Not only the performance advantage, but a for safety reasons as well.

Might as well throw a couple of the new copper "dognutz" on there while you have it apart. :pics:

Copper donuts already waitng to be put in when it's all put back together. That was the plan to do it all at once and be done.

Here is the install.

So does this mean blocking off the exhaust should increase performance as well? Or is it really just the coating that keeps temps higher? Just curious cause I'm planning on blocking off my tunnel to reduce ice build up and it would be nice know that I'm not hurting performance.

Blocking off the tunnel on my wifes Phazer never hurt anything and in fact helped with any snow build up. Her Phazer is bare when we stop while my Nytro has got a Baby Huey in the tunnel!!

lol... yeah I've seen one fly out of my brother inlaws xtx. Good thing I try not to tailgate. Well maybe I should say tailgating wasn't issue for me since I was on my 04 Indy 500 with it clamped just trying to keep up.

Hey Andyfreeze closing off the tunnel will not gain performance with the stock car sized muffler. The restrictive flow from the muffler causes the pipe to glow red hot most of the time. This condition is good for combustion chamber exhasut gases to burn but not flow freely. This is where a new muffler does show some gains due to easier exhaust gases to flow. With a new muffler and less restrictive flow temperature becomes an issue due to easier less resistive exhaust flow.

Take a look at it when your riding at night pretty scary to know it gets that hot. The reason for the coating is 2 fold lower outer temps for gas tank saftey, snow melt issue and contain hotter temps inside pipe for exhaust gases.

Andyfreeze · Oct 22, 2011

Makes sense to me.. Thanks for the explanation UP bushman. ;)!

canoehead · Oct 22, 2011

You could say the gains are made by not adding weight and also we're going to save the track and heat exchanger. As for actual performance put on a can with your tunnel enclosure. There's more area for the heat to dissipate.
