Sorry, intake.

Looks great Todd, who'd you use?

Thanks Brett.

They are right here in Orlando. Actually, right hext door to the guy that did my 3" custom exhaust.

Dropped it all off on Monday and picked up today.

Get it all back to my mech, that is finishing up the rebuild, and hopefully be back on the road in a week or two!!!!!

That's ceramic? Why does it looks like metal? And why's it on the outside?

Todd - looks great, but you are trapping a lot of heat in the intake, man.

J Chen

280 bucks for the whole lot is a very good price.
Did you coat the internal of the exhaust too ?

Yeah, from my research, it may not have been wise to put a heat barrier all over the intake manifold. Your intake manifold should work to dissipate heat. By coating it with a thermal barrier you will trap heat as Jim described.

Most people suggest either leaving it as is or applying a thermal barrier to the underside and thermal dispersant on the top side.

Looks good otherwise.

Ski

Question: why wouldn't the intake coating act as a heat barrier..if it's just done on the outside, which most intakes are.

Mine is done in Jet Hot 1200, outside only, and I've got temp data, before and after, that indicates the runners average 18-22 degrees cooler, the flats between only 10-12 degrees cooler. No I don't have any data from inside the intake but wouldn't it seem that the coating acts to prevent heat soak?

I agree ST, coating the intake will trap heat in, much like the exhaust ceramic coating will... was the ambient temp the same Ski?

Duke

It depends on what's hottest...the intercooled air from the turbo or the surrunding area of the intake.

NZ951

The intercooled air would be hottest I suspect.

Fen

What Duke said.

Is it really hotter inside than outside, given that the turbo is just underneath it?

Sami951

On a related note, would painting the intake manifold black cause any additional heat issues?

Todd - those coated parts look awesome! Be sure to post pics when you have them in place

Duke

Black dissapates heat better than other colors, so in a situation when the item is hotter than the surrounding, black is good.
E.g. an intercooler is most efficient when painted black.
