Default Kirkham side pipes

Does anyone have any photos of the (fairly) new Kirkham polished stainless side pipes mounted on their car? Has anyone painted/ceramic coated them?

Thanks

Here is one. I took it at their shop in Provo, in March, when I went to order KM647. I think this is Dave's car if I'm not mistaken.

Hope this helps.

Kirkham side pipes always look different from car to car it seems, not the colors but the shape of them, some have the 2 piece look with a big pinch in them while others look more smooth like the original pipes.

It's been a while since I checked in. Has anyone had their Kirkham stainless pipes ceramic coated? I like the flat black look of my standard Kirkham pipes, but all of the packing is shot, so it's time to replace them. I was thinking of getting the newer pipes, but want to stick with black. Also, has anyone compared the new ss pipes with the oldf standard pipes? If so, how is the sound? Any noticeable performance difference?

Sound is similar, they have a manderal bending machine now which which is state of the art of course and makes nice pieces, I just got back from the open house, yes they can be powder coated or painted, the ss pipes are alot lighter in weight than the mild steel if that helps. Stainless loves powdercoat or paint.

Default Coated stainless headers

I have jet hot coated my stainless headers to help keep the heat down under the hood and to raise the velocity of the exaust. They are holding up well. Not as pretty as polished, but functional.

Does anyone know if the stainless flow better than the mild steel pipes offered by Kirkham. The mild steel come with the roller, the stainless are a option.
