[NLXTACY]

Even the exhaust manifold gaskets are bling for these ceramic coated manifolds

 

[Willy beamin]

New exhaust manifolds ceramic coated silver. New heat shields ceramic coated black. New hardware yellow zinc’d. Things are starting to look very sexy

This is easily my new favorite thread. Great work, man!

Are the elbows for the turbo kit shipping with the bung for meth injection? It would be a damned shame to mess up the finish to have one tacked on later...

No. Testing for meth hasn’t even started and elbows were already done when I started this.

Having fabbed a few sets of headers and mandrel exhausts over the years, I can confidently say this thing is tits!

@NLXTACY looks sexy AF! Any idea what the common operating temperature will be for the J-Pipe? Trying to gauge how much insulation to put on that AC line

Nice work...panties en route...

That would mean a whole lot more coming from @alohajen

Hard to say but 600-1000° may be the norm when in boost.

Don't judge me!

I don’t have the second valve cover yet that will get modified (for a future product) so I’m just using the one I acid bathed and chem filmed and painted it with DupliColor red caliper paint. Five coats and then it’ll cure for three hours before I do the rest of the usual stuff to it. But the cover needs to go on today so that I can maybe get this truck fired up this weekend. Fingers crossed.

Will it fit in your oven?

You jest but the first thing I checked when I took it off...
