Harrison sidepipes - mounting

SAMBO,

Nice pipes, I too have a pair of FF pipes on my RMC.

I had them extended as I don't like the short look.

I also had them coated (after the dyno) to reduce the heat.

If anyone is running active side pipes they MUST coat the pipes, it reduces the

Radiant heat, they keep their colour and most importantly stop 3 degree burns.

If anyone gets into my car I always assist them even though I have them coated.

Nothing worse than a burnt leg to start the trip

Stiffy

Stiffy, I wouldn't have bothered with polished stainless if I planned to coat them - but I agree, the ceramic coating is very effective, I have it on my headers.

Gav, I'd be more concerned about taking the car on a run, what happens when you go inside the pub/cafe for a drink and a toddler notices the shiny pipes - it all happens very quickly as you probably know. Or a "well healed type" leans over to inspect the gauges? Lawsuit.

Where did you get them coated. Mine are polished and look good, but they have left a nice little reminder on my nkle about not getting too close to them.

Thinking might leave them there and do a undercar system, but first I have to change all the springs as they are too soft.
