Picked up my full termi system after it was ceramic coated today. Here's some pics.

Sure looks good and the same color option I chose. I guess we both have the same good taste.

Nice!

Is it these guys? I used them before to powdercoat a roll cage a long time ago and they did an awesome job. These guys are right near Moto Forza across the I-15!

what about doing it on stock headers/Termi's slip-on... what kind of power increases (if any) can I expect from that?

2% gain in hp. I'd encourage you to do a full system if you do ceramic though.

ahh ok... ya I would encourage myself too, but I encourage termi to lower the prices. We'll see which one happens first.

How did you do this, did you take them the headers before your bike was put together? Also, did you get the dealer to install the pipes after or what?

BTW- How much weight does this add?

I don't have the bike yet. Yes, you send them the headers before the bike is put together. The place that does the coating will not take them off and put them back on for you. And my dealer will install them once the bike gets here.

Question: would the ceramic coating void the Ducati warranty? Has anyone checked with a dealer? I'd be concerned.

Why do you even think that it would void the warranty? :duh

Do the slip joints still go together OK?

Powder coating is not the same.

Because I'd hate to find out the hard way. Ducati may consider the ceramic coating to be a modification of the exhaust system that was not factory authorized or dealer installed. I don't think I'm crazy for raising the issue...better safe than sorry.
