So while I've got the head off, I've decided to improve exhaust flow, I'm going to put a gasser exhaust in its place (the 4 -> 2 -> 1 header type from a cabriolet). Would it be wise to paint them with hi-temp ceramic paint? Or would that cause problems down the road?
enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
You can get ceramic coatings done pretty cheap, nowadays. I've used a few companies and of course Jet Hot was the most expensive.Something to insider is how often the car will be driven. If its a weekend car, the coating likely won't last. I've had a down pipe/manifold coating fail twice due to rust. The parts need to be heat cycled and they'll last a long time.I wouldn't wrap parts. Holding the heat in will make the part fail much sooner.-Todd
Do you think there would be any benefit to wrapping my 3" downpipe on my turbo? It is stainless steel so shouldn't fail due to rust.
