I just talked a local shop into trying this stuff and here are the results...



IF you look on the flange it looks like it is scratched but that is aluminum off of the key I tried to scratch it with.

Manifold is for a 4g63/4g64

It adds about $60 to the price of a manifold and it is good for 1800 degrees.

 

that manifold looks good (like with the heat coating) and the welds are ok too...

but being close to equal length... not really working out there.. would this cause any problem with the 1 cylinder having more pipe than the others?

 

That was one of those "at customer request" kind of things. First he wanted an external wastegate cut in the top but it would not clear the hood. So, rather than build another one, this is what happend. Definatly will flow better than a log manifold, I don't think it will hurt anything.

 

what type of heat coating is it? is it painted... or powdercoated...

i think it is a good idea. but even a better one might be to use heat wrap on the manifold (unless they are worried about looks).

 

nice... how much do you charge for them there manifolds?

 

How many minutes is that paint gauranteed to stay on after you start up the car?

 

Powdercoated, technically. He had to buy a new gun because it is liquid( I don't get it either, since liquid is not powder ) but it is cured in the same oven. 200 deg for 2 hours and then 600deg for 3 hours, then it finishes curing on the car. Hopefully we will have one on a car soon to see how it holds up. I have used the Chrome type in the past and this is made by the same people.

 

$300 coated.

 

, It is an Aluminum Oxide, silicon mixture. Just like Jet hot coat only it is Black.

 

i painted my manifold with some 1200 krylon.... that was like 4 bucks...

4 bucks.. or 60... 4 or 60.... come on hmt

i would have to buy more than 10 paint cans (which is like painting it at least 80 times, because its not a big manifold).

if that stuff helps keep in the heat.. cool.. but for looks.. i like the 'krylon touch'
