^^^ Agreed.... Jet-Hot 2000, something that will last and look better than corrosion.

Jeze - your gonna have one slick setup after that goes on. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it wasnt coated was 'jeze ....it would be night and day if he did the manifold'

I searched www.whitepages.com and in the category, put "power coating" and put in my zip code and it gave me a list of like 10 different powder coating shops in my area. I called a few to get the best price and dropped off the pipes.

That’s Jet-Hot Sterling Extreme right? If so, that’s only good for 1400 degrees shine wise and 1700 before it burns off. A friend of mine coated his manifold with a normal 1200 degree coating, burned off in one month.

It's not Jet Hot at all. It's a high-temp traditional cermaic coating that holds up to 1500. My car is only driven 3-5 times a month and not for prolonged periods of time - so I'm not worried about the shine fading or burning off.

Driving a turbo charged tc only 3-5 times a month would kill me.

Which is exactly why it is only driven to and from shows. Occasionally I'll take her out for a joy ride, though. The paint, kit, and wheels alone are enough to bankrupt me if something happened to them. LoL.
