FP DSM manifold coating

[GVR-4]

What do you guys recommend for coating the Forced Performance exhaust manifold? Swain seems like the best option, but it would be expensive, plus they don't coat the inside.

I'm also going to send my new FP manifold to get coated when I get it.

I think swaintech is overpriced.

I'm thinking about trying out FFWD Connection's exhaust coating.

Here's a Link

I am actually getting an FP manifold coated at FFWD in the next few weeks so I can let you know how that turns out. Darren is also getting a new coating process started for the inside of the manifold runners, he asked if I was interested in doing that as well. I'm still waiting on pricing for that though, he said he would let me know when my manifold arrives so I can update you on that when I get a price.

Definitely keep us updated Paul.

I had my FP race manifold coated by FP and I wasn't impressed. The manifold turned a rusty brown color really fast, it looked horrible. The coating wasn't very durable and came off what I perceived as quickly. I have never used Swaintech, so I can't compare yet, but I will be trying them next time.

That is why FP no long coats their manifolds.

^ i want to do mine to can we get a better deal if we do a few.

bought mine during the BF sale. It should come in the mail tomorrow. I'm also interested in a good and affordable place to get it coated.

Well maybe someone should contact FFWD and see about a group discount? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I've had other stuff ceramic coated in the past at a local place. I wasn't to happy with the way it turned out.

So I'm leaning towards trying something different. I like the fact that FFWD has a 2 stage exhaust coating, an insulation barrier and a heat barrier. And now Paul mentioned that they are thinking about doing a coating on the inside of the runners too. I'm interested.

I am in for the 2 stage coating at FFWD and will be sending in my O2 housing and turbine housing with the manifold. If we could work a deal that would be cool.

I'd be in for group buy

I got my FP manifold and my FP Green Turbine housing coated by Darren (FFWD)and they came out BEAUTIFUL!!!! They are bolted up to my motor, but I wont have any real feedback before you guys get your stuff done.

 

[BrandonEchols]

I'm not ready to have anything done just yet, but I have multiple pieces I'd like to have a quality coat done on in the future.
I'm thinking if we could have them give us a standing discount - like some other places offer to certain groups - because as a group, over time, they will see a lot of business from us - that would be awesome.

They're talking about the Jet Hot 2000 coating vs swaintech.

Do you think FFWD's CGB-1000 is a Jet Hot 2000 coating?

I've read other forums that said they've had their swaintech flake off.

Here's one

But it sounded like he had a used product coated not a new one and that was his problem.

Are you guys going for looks or function? I got my fp manifold coated with the black coating from fp that lasted maybe a month. I bought a jmf heatshield. this help a bit. I then bought a thermo-tec manifold blanket. I covered the manifold and turbo and put the jmf shield on top of that. This is the best set up for keeping in heat by far. I run the crap out of my car(highway pulls back to back to where when I pull over you car read by the light comming off my exhaust manifold at night with out the blanket and shield)
Every 3 or 4 years you need to replace the thermo-tec, I bought the V8 option and had a backup to begin with.
