Default Kinda depends...>>

On what it's coated with now...Ceramic? PC?
You really need a clean metal surface to properly powdercoat....I'm really not into stripping parts! Looks like it should fit though...225 pipe is right on the edge of what will in my oven..

Default It may be too big, it's longer than factory, if it fits in my oven will it fit in yours?

I'll try to figure out what it's coated with tomorrow and see if it fits in my oven. If it does I've got plenty of time to strip it this weekend.

Default If it turns out Steve can't fit it There is a place with a walk in oven>>

Here in central Ohio. Two blocks from my house. If you want to ship it to me I'll get it over to them for you.
