Can powdercoating be used on exhaust systems?

I would like to attempt to powdercoat an exhaust system. At what temperature will powdercoat hold up to or should I use a ceramic coating?

Thanks,

Exhaust systems coatings are required to pass a cycling test of 850°F to ice water 10 times without loss of adhesion. A can't imagine an off the shelf powder coating that would pass this without turning into powder.
