Steve,
Will this in any way increase heat to the motor. The reason I ask is that while trying to figure out the RPM hookup on my LTR last night the FI light kept blinking 2 times per sec which means the coolant got too hot. I'm really not too concerned because it was sitting still and I was reving to 7k several times. I also plan on putting in Engine Ice in the near future. Actually I already have it but haven't had the chance to put it in.
Inquiring minds want to know!

The reason why they claim it lowers temps and increases hp(didn't look, but I'd guess that they would claim that) is because it actually keeps the heat in. Sounding crazy, but just stick with me a second.
Cooler air right next to the pipe cools off the pipe some. The cooler pipe will actually create resistance to the flow of exhaust. Temperature differences cause resistance. You have to imagine this in layers. The center of the exhaust flows the best with resistance to flow being at the outside of the inners of the pipe.
With the coating, it provides a barrier to the cooler air outside. This helps keep the heat in the pipe and cool air off the outside of the pipe. This in turn reduces resistance to the flow of exhaust. More HP b/c there is less resistance to exhaust flow and the hot exhaust is now easy to get out of the motor.

Good to know. JET-HOT said their black is rated at a higher temp then the standard ceramic and is EVEN more durable. Wont flake.

Yeah I guess I forgot to mention that the increase in HP won't be noticeable on the bike(dyno MAYBE) and the temp difference on the motor might be noticed by a lazer therometer. It will all be nearly a non noticeable amount.... pretty much, you just better like the black look

I know on a car if the engine is painted black you get more hp. Because it dissipates heat better then other colors. The ceramic coating not only looks cool but it helps underhood temps stay down because it keeps the heat inside the headers. Your exhaust is gonna look sweet.
