i'll write it again: "expensive procedure for ordinary mild steel",meaning it's not financially wise to protect a hillbilly shack with top class anti theft system. That's how you should read it anyhow . ________________________________________ French military victories?Did you mean French military defeats? |

That's how you should read it anyhow . It's expensive yes but it does the job best. Creating a intricate carbon fibre front wing for an F1 car is an expensive procedure for something that’s likely to shatter when clipping another car, it does the job best though. ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

But a 450 odd hp 306 produces a lot of heat and also sets fire to your engine bay so ceramic coating helps prevent this!Iirc gti6 manifolds are stainless steel |

You don't seem to get the point brownshoe. It's not about protecting the manifold. If it was, it wouldn't be financially viable. It's about keeping engine bay temps down. |

I think that you don't seem to get my point, i know about ceramic coating and plasma spraying process from 1983, i don't have any doubt about it's efficiency in isolation, i just question how wise is to implement it on material prone to corrosion like mild steel. ________________________________________ French military victories?Did you mean French military defeats? |

Well some exhaust manifolds are at least 17 years old and iv never heard of one corroding......Just to make it clear ceramic coating is not to stop corrosion it's to lower engine bay temps! If you don't have the money to "waste" on getting it done don't worry about it but I myself decided that it was worth while getting it done |

Well they are all at least 12 years old now and I've not seen any that have corroded away yet so i would say that it corroding in any of our ownership of our cars (except Stans which will rot before his eyes in his garage over a 30 year period) is not a problem. |

It will prevent corrosion and keeps engine bay temps down. The materialls are fully cleaned before the coating is applyed. Its awesome stuff until ure manifold cracks then you have to put it in the bin.________________________________________ |

What exactly is the material. You say low grade stainless, but that looks very mild. Is it something like 4003 or something? ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Thats a proper stainless. Not a hybrid. Only real difference worth noting is isnt very resiliant to salt. When we build baf tanks and other vessel's we normally use 304. If its going to get salt or more aggressive chemicals ran through it then we use 316. Must only look like mild due to getting so hot then. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

316 is also 6-7 times more expensive than 304. ________________________________________ French military victories?Did you mean French military defeats? |
