When I order mine, it will be from Piers. If you wanted it done, he use to send it for the company, and then they sent it straight to you. That was how he USE to do it from what I have heard.

Airborne Coatings

I had mine Aluminum Ceramic Coated inside & out at Airborne coatings for 75 bananas. They did a great job. They must have lots of confidence in their product not to flake off to spray the inside on a turbo application. Lots of places wil not coat the inside on a turbo application. After a year it stll looks nice too.

call me ignorant but

what is the advantage of having the inside coated ... ... . please enlighten the issue

 

[EMDDIESEL]

Having the inside coated would be the same for the outside. To help prevent rust and also to control heat better. I still have yet to see a coating last more then 2 or three years. On the inside it would probably be less.

 

[Whitmore]

thats my take on it too

and there ya go shell out you turbo :{

I got mine from Piers. He shipped it to Performance Coatings in Auburn,Washington and they applied their Cermachrome coating.

It really looks nice. This is the easiest way to receive it ready to install.

Whats delivery time and cost if you order a coated ATS manifold from Piers?

 

[dezrat]

Order from Piers. He shipps to Performance Coatings. It took them a week to coat mine. They ship to you. About two weeks in my case but I live in Nevada. Your shipping time might be more.

$425 for manifold. $155 for coating.

Doug,



Dad's had his on for well over a year now and has had not trouble of his Jet Hot coating. If I were you I'd get the manifold, take it out and make sure all the ports line up clearly everywhere, do any small port matching to ensure all your transitions are smooth, and then send it to get it coated. He has the Jet Hot 2000 inside and out, and it came out as a light gray. Even after blasts to 1700+ degrees it has not discolored a bit. I think the inside "flow coating" is beneficial because it smooths the inside surface and will help keep the heat out of the metal and in the exhaust gas itself. For what it's worth, I have seen other coatings peel off after time, but haven't seen anything bad out of the Jet Hot applications that I have seen.
