I bought the RNR 3 inch turbo outlet and coated my stock unported manifold and the housing. The turn around time was what was promised from Perfomance Coatings. I got the Satin Ice flavor rated at 2000F. Well I did my first run from first gear and man what a big difference. The car was running smoother and pulled a little harder. As for the coating itself, I thought it would keep the heat in better. It's not flaking or anything but it feels as hot as stock without the heatshield on. It also spools slightly better. As for mods they are 3 inch turboback with a high flow cat, injen intake, base dynoflash, ground wires, boost was set to peak at 20.5.

 

Glad everything was as you expected. The 02 housing is a nice little upgrade that definitely helps.
