Just a small detail I've been wanting since I bought the car since my IX had it too.

My coated PPI Extreme ported exhaust manifold from SPC in Arlington, TX (http://spcoating.com/) is done! Should be going on this Saturday...I plan to get the initial pre-manifold baseline dyno done on Friday.

Looks like quality for sure...I am just a fan of dull and black parts though, so this just seems a bit too flashy, especially for a cast piece. Could be the flash though from the camera, not sure.

I'll take some pictures without flash when I see them this weekend.

According to Michael at SPC, this metallic-ceramic coating is the best he has in terms of durability and retaining heat, plus he says you can take a metal polish to it and it won't hurt it at all. In the end, it doesn't really matter what the color is because it's going to be covered by the heat shields anyways. :)

Armando is exactly right, this coating was chosen for it's durability and thermal properties over it's appearance (but to be honest, I really like how it looks). He also offers Techline black (and various other colors) coating, but this silver is the same as what Buschur and PPI offer and has proven itself the most durable over the years.

Does their coating handle the high temps of turbo applications? Most of the shiny ceramic coatings are meant for NA temps versus turbo temps. The shiny coated O2 housings that I have got from Buschur have all had the coating flake off in a years time.

A Buschur ported/coated ex mani and o2 housing has been on my old IX for 50k miles and it's dull now rather than shiny, but nothing has flaked off. So far my MAP o2 elim dp with this coating is holding up perfectly.
