Yep they are @2700 Nevada street in Norfolk now. And Brian can't do it yet because they don't have the power turned on yet.

From what I've seen, there are quite a few"characters" on vadriven. I've had good experiences at Sage and they are pretty military friendly. Oh by the way, I went to all aspects and kienan threw a few temporary tack welds on my flange. I am actually building boost now and am in the market for a new exhaust manifold if anyone has one.

What do you guys think... ceramic coat my manifold or heat wrap it? I already have to send my pistons down to get coated, so I was thinking about sending the manifold to get ceramic coated as well. I just don't know which one is going to work better and last longer

I would say that if you ever planned on reselling, as soon as you pulled that wrap off the manny it's gonna look like crap but selling a coated manny wouldn't be a problem. I'm just saying the look of coated is better. Maybe performance out weighs looks? It's up to you.



PS. I've had a few to drink tonight so take it as you will.

can it be smiley faces!?

I would go with ceramic coatings, just to help out on looks and poss resale value (if you ever decide to do it). Also don't they make different temps for ceramic coatings?
