Does anybody have some Experience with these Coating on Cast Manifolds? -
i dont have any experience but from what i read this is just another ceramic coating. It also says that on turboengined cars, it retains the heat to help spool,but if it does that then how does it actually decrease heat flow which mentions a few lines above?
the only thing i always do on these parts is cryogenic treatment,which makes them a lot tougher and durable -
It's plasma coating big difference
A couple of members have their downpipe coated by this company and I talked to them at the Autosport show, they by all accounts are the best in the business but are priced to match

AFAIK it helps stop heat soak by reducing radiated heat, thus aiding better flow and reducing under bonnet temps
I got quoted about £200 to do a downpipe, not cheap but supposed to be very good at what they do.Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt

so its posh wrap then.
why would it be needed on a cast manifold? or is it to get best out of the cast. i always thought that cast retained heat enough not to need it but ss tubing its useful.Comment

Wrapping is race
coating is oem style
would be nice to do some test on Wrapping vs coating..

ive used wrap before. i dont use it now and see no noticable difference.
wrapping is also not a nice job is it. lots of lovely fibres. hard work with tight pipes too.
tip for those who do have a go with wrap. wet it first a little.
would be nice to see the results and how long this stuff lasts.
less chance of it setting on fire too than wrap. BTDTComment
