ceramic on exhaust manifolds
Does anyone know how hot a stock ex manifold would get on a 2001 Z06 with an STS twin turbo set up? I have a client that wants them ceramic coated and I'm trying to figure out what temp coating he's requires.

Yes. They have been sitting for a while and need to be cleaned up and ceramic works for him. I'm just not sure if 1200F coating is enough.

Perhaps you can contact a company that does this every day, like Jethot......

I've been running 1200 F ceramic coating on my track car's Dynamaxes for 3 years now without a problem. They're much easier to work around when the engine is hot and they still look like new.

If your going to use the Stock manifolds, i recommend some porting before you sen them out. They can benefit from some entry and exit opening clean up. You can also smooth some of the exterior casting flashing.

All I really need to know is hot hot the exhaust manifold gets. I have a few different ceramics in stock, the client would like black. The only black that I have right now is 1200F, I just want to know if the manifold gets that hot?
