Umm, you know that it's just gonna rust again almost immediately, don't you?

Polishing cast metal is like trying to polish a turd.

The best will be when he flips it over after polishing one side to find the other side is already rusted again :D

I believe i saw something that said you can get the manifold clear powder coated. :)

Mythbusters actually busted that myth that you cant polish poop. They had a guy do it with his hands. made it nice and shiney.

Best way is to throw it in the trash and get an FP exhaust manifold. :)

I don't know why you would spend that much time trying to make a stock exhaust manifold look good. Put a heat shield on it or buy a different, better manifold.

Just get it ceramic coated. IDK what it is, but buschur uses a really nice shiny silver coating that seems to last quite a long time.

I had MAP coat my stuff when I had it all apart, black everywhere baby.

However, I still put a heat-shield over it ;) I say get the FP manifold and get it coated, do it right, do it once.

Ha, yes do this. We could take bets from everyone on what color it will be after a 30 minute drive, or if there will even be anything left. Then use that money from the bets to buy a heatshield or a different manifold.
