The stock chargepipes can't, they are plastic. Downpipes can but not sure why you would want to do that.

Downpipes can be ceramic coated. Powdercoat on Downpipes would burn off in minutes due to the extreme heat generated. Aftermarket charge Pipes can be powdercoated, companies like ER offer this as an option.

As Tom mentioned, downpipes should be ceramic coated not powder coated.
It will run you around $90 ... Make sure you choose a coating that can withstand the heat

Cerakote makes great coatings. I just pulled off my vrsf cerakoted pipes for emissions and after 8k miles they still look phenomenal.
