Aww c'mon now, this is NOTHING like the war room...... In there, if you have a differing opinion you're a moron leaning too far to the (pick your side) and you obviously are uneducated on the subject of which you speaketh and everyone immediately will make it their mission in life to "educate" you right after you've been labeled a (pick your side)

This is simply an opportunity to find out what is out there so you can have more choices.

They don't powder exhaust. They ceramic coat them.

I'm joking of course! I won't argue about weight as things may have changed, new materials or techniques. I've actually weighed parts as a QC step in a factory and PC added a lot of weight. For the record, that was a long time ago.
As far as color choices and brightness, again I have older experience but I've never seen powder coat have that deep glow that a really good paint job does IMHO. Of course, that is subjective.

Yea, I was wondering about powder coat on exhaust as well...

Oh yeah I'm sure it does add on weight. Its thick shit and can take a beating without any marks due to its thickness.

I'm kidding, although it's like everyone asks for your opinion and then tries to tear it down when you were honestly just trying to help them.

yep! I learned years ago, if I was going to participate in a public forum;

Con:

1. Develope some thick skin
   
2. Don't take it personal
   
3. Take a break from them frequently

Otherwise you're letting people you've never met, from somewhere you've never been, occupy more than 2 seconds of your time and effort.....when they're SOOO not worth it.

Pro:

Here's the bike:

Personally I'd go with black. It shows the least dirt, and it goes with the rest of the black on the bike. Gold would be another suggestion, but I'd prefer that to come on the set of Marchesini wheels.
