It won't "come off" or anything since it's not a coating. You're physically changing the surface of the material.

Like polishing silver or something.



Ahhh, i know how to polish stuff, but i figured the polishing compund stayed on tere and providedm ost of the lusture! Thx for the info :)

hey, im looking to purchase a turbo kit similar to this one, but its for my crx, i have a hf turbo exhaust manifold already, and im piecing the rest together. I was just wondering if this would fit on my car without the exhaust manifold. if so, how much would you let this go, w/o the exhaust mani??? thanks a bunch

ya why not just sell your turbo kit with a hf manifold/adaptor plate instead of going through all the trouble of making custom ones? I mean unless you want equal length the hf maniflods work fine.
