Tremclad Satin Black is what I use on my IC pipes.  Looks really nice when done.

I rock the Longbitches as well.  Gotta have love for the stock wheels!

Do you have anyone who could powdercoat the piping?   Powdercoating them black would be the hotness.  Dooder :face:

Maybe radiator paint?  Keep those pipes somewhat heat emissive.

i know this is old an all but radiator paint is ultra, ultra flat when dry.  a satin finish would prolly be nicer.  rustoleum makes a very durable satin black that's butter, but i also don't know what look in finish you're shooting for.
