Seems like an easy four lbs loss per the forum. Does anyone who does the work? I really want to give it a try!
Thank you Daryl
Thank you Daryl
9R Cerakoted pipe weight loss and who does it?
- Thread starter Ridin Ak
- Start date
"The powdercoat shop" does it in Palmer
My user name is when I was born and raised in Anchorage. I live in Snowmass Village, Colorado now. I probably should change my user name. So removing the heat shield and Cerakoting removes some good weight?
3 or 4 lbs?
Ahhh thank you!
You realize the above is what prompted the threads here about cerakoted pipes?
Yes it’s all coming full circle! LolYou realize the above is what prompted the threads here about cerakoted pipes?
I have been out of the sled game for 20 years or so! Feeling like a newb! I got off the phone with Carl’s 20 minutes ago. Probably going to give it a go! Thank you for the help!
Yes Sir! That beautiful gal! Stoked for sure!
Is this a 9R? I see the power domes.
Another question that should be asked. Does the pipe stay consistently hot enough to provide full consistent stable power with out quirky side effects?
I love striving for lightest possible machine but if runability is in question I'm out. I had a 19 850 axys complete lightweight build with no engine mods that I sold because the 23 850 i got just ran so much better.

The bigger thing you guys are over looking. The Carl's pipe I believe is a stock pipe they modify to work with their 900 kit. And then coat. It's simply not just a stock pipe that's coated.
You are correct. You send your stock pipe and they remove the heat shields, cut it apart, modify it and cerkote it.
This is actually what it is,
I'll be updating that thread as it just received a Skinz Helium Hood as well!!
While I have no firsthand experience with a cerakoted pipe, I can almost guarantee that it will radiate significantly more heat than a stock pipe with insulation and a clam shell.
Anyone try this pipe on the boost??
