I had the exhaust system on a Suzuki GSX-R750 coated by HPC
and I was not impressed.  It cost over $200 for the coating and
the pipe rusted in less than two years.  I've heard of people getting 
better results than I did, but they won't be getting any more money
from me to find out.  If anything, I'd use Jet Hot Coatings since
at least they offer a 3 year warrantee.  But in reality, I'll buy
stainless
pipes or get used to frequent reapplication of high-temp paint.
