just gotta plug the EGR fitting

Use a 3/4" brass NPT plug and the stock nut from the flex pipe

WOOHOO! it sounds amazing. it is LOUD-as it was before, but even in the driveway, she seems to have better response and a much much better tone at RPM. Sounds like a tractor at idle tho. can't hear anything in the engine compartment other than the noisey valvetrain and the air from the fan- can't feel any leaks but maybe a tiny bit at the poorly plugged EGR fitting- I just used a quarter for now. gotta fab hangers and take her on a spin... will report

Nice. I'm gunna throw some more torque on the quarter and see how it holds up for now

hanger is in- I used one hanger with two brackets(hooks with bolt holes...) that bolt to either side of the hanger, then bolted the hanger to the body center over the pipes, let the brackets hang loose so they would touch the pipes, and burned em to the pipes...no more pics today....gunna do a bushed side support rod top the hanger bar and then we should be good. it sounds like a HUI, but thats only cause there not but 6 foot of straight pipe per run. Boys, it's a beast, a right BORE. O my. I think that with the extra diameter of the exhaust valve and the extry duration fer the exhaust valve due to the CAM, that the thing doesn't really light off till about 3 it's got turbo lag

That's alot of work on those manifolds.

Few potentially dumb questions, regarding.

What other coating options would be considered for? Hi temp paint? PC?

Is ceramic out of the question since a pot metal part that couldn't take the additional heat that ceramic may cause?

Those are cast iron, the only thing that would hold up is ceramic . I've used both hi-temp paint and that POR-15 header paint, both will burn off in time :-(. Interested to see how the curing holds up -

Wonder if they'd be more prone to deforming if the ceramic does what should in keeping the heat in the coated part?

Would it be wrong to oil up the manifolds with bacon? Haha.

you're a picture reader, aren't you That's exactly what the point was, only I got my hands slapped for trying to use the bacon grease like it's a food item or something. yeah, cured like cast iron cookware. your choice of oil...bake at 350 till they stop smokin...

you're a picture reader, aren't you

Read every word......I thought.

Re-read and only reference I may have missed was the "lot of research" and reason for question (in past four-five IPhone pages).

Cure 'em with bacon and you'll have all the dogs chasing you.

I'm sure he could find an article on how to season them with Bacon.

Sounds really good. I think you have solved the exhaust leak problem.
