XSPower Manifold, Coating?

[TDubTheSubBub]

Just wondering what people think about ceramic coating my new XSPower v3 ewg manifold? Guessing voids warranty, but engine bays temp are insane and I assume the exhaust manifold with no shields aint gonna help

I would totally get it coated if its not too expensive. But test fit the manifold before you do!

I test fit it already. It'll work but the heater core hoses are maybe 1/2 inch from touching it. That's a no bueno for me. Gonna get it ceramic coated and possible make a custom heatshield for the hose area. Gonna chop off that stupid inspection pipe I keep hitting

The heat shield would probably be the most efficient way...

I bet Thor was talking about test fit in general but i would mention linearity check also. Some of these manifold had bent or not plane surface if you read the reviews. (V3 should be fine but...) If it need to be planned, they would stcratch the coating in the process....

Indeed I was.
