Powercoated Exhaust Tailpipes(PICS)

[99cobra09]

I decided to try something different and i asked my dad if he could powercoat all my exhaust and see what it looked like. Overall i think i looks really sharp, the silver and chorome does a nice contrast. Well here is some pics of the results, let me know what you guys think.

Note: Im the first to attempt this and also to put a Functional IRS exhaust in SRA.

Why did you do that? How much?

Just sanded them down, powercoated them. It was free for me.

looks pretty good bro, shouldnt be to hard to keep clean either...

 

[97LaserRed]

very good idea!! I should have done that to mine!

 

[mustangsel]

I like it. It's different

 

[kxt]

i wonder how its gonna hold up to the heat and the rocks

 

[mustangman36578]

cool idea. dont see any reason not to try it especially for free. should hold up fine to temps and debris.

They look good. Post up some pics when you get them back on the car.

Here's some teaser pictures of them somewhat on, i still have to align them and make them look nice and pretty, this is going to be installed in SRA 99 Cobra. Let me know what you guys think.

nice job on the pipes, looks clean... I would try some stock irs pipes first, I think the axle housing may beat up the pipes a bit...

Thanks :beer:
I have done it with 5 different exhaust systems and haven't had any problem with the modifications i did in my own custom hangers.

I like it man, and the powdercoat will def hold up to rocks and shit, just don't hit any speedbumps that fast How much do you think it would cost an average joe to get that done? Just curious

Power to the black Cobras btw!

Thanks Dude :beer:

I would say it costs about $100-$200 bucks to do it. I wouldnt do it if it was more than that.

Black Cobras FTW!

Kinda wondering why you would put an IRS catback on? Unless its to save money I dont see why I wouldnt like to have to take my exhaust off every time I needed to do something to the axle.

I got a lift at work so it dont matter, plus its not that im saving money i like the look of the IRS pipes.

Just curious. Ive seen others do it before, but never could see why.

I agree though, IRS pipes look bad ass.

Because the IRS exhaust is one of the coolest things about Cobras! And if you need to service your axle enough to where you're constantly having to pull your diff apart, you should look into a new hobby. Build your SRA right once and be done with it!

What catback is this? I need to buy a nice SS catback to mirror polish for my car next.
