Ceramic Coated Headers
Guys, Just had my exhaust manifold ceramic coated by Competition Coatings Queensland at Archerfield. Done a real good job and even organised the courier pickup and return.

I probably would have Danny but they came out on a pallet by sea from my brother which kept the cost down. I put Geoff onto these guys and he got these headers as well to supply with his Duratecs.

Does anyone know how this compares with wrapping the manifold in heat tape? Or is it more for looks?

heat tape has its place. but this coating is much better in my opinion as it has a few benefits other then looking good. if you have a look on the jet hot website they explain abit on the effects this coating has on your actually exhaust system etc. keep in mind some/alot of this is minimal on a street car and most likely irrelavant sales pitch. but if you have spent all this cash on your engine why not go 1 step further? just my 2 cents.

heat coating is great. mate from work has a massive cam and all the fruit clubsport. he drives 20 mins to work in the morning, and you can still touch his headers. we use it on all our drag car stuff, and they get bloody hot. the ceramic coating helps to keep headers cooler, so they dont keep radiating heat into the engine block we're trying to cool down. the people to use in WA are Competition and Industrial Coatings, in kelmscott. (08) 9495 4237.  (looks better in real life)

Hi Danny, part of the problem was that mine was the first duratec conversion he did and to start getting the headers fabricated from scratch was a more expensive option at the time, also time was another factor. Do you have any 4 pot calipers? Good luck with the axles.

the only 4 spots I've got at the moment are the 4 piston Alcon's on the car I was hoping to have the cambered diff in for this weekends Gatton Sprint but it's all getting to hectic so we'll see Danny
