Soo

I've stopped posting on flaming Friday coz I'm getting paranoid about the heat of the exhaust and a fibreglass car.

Saw a post on Facebook where a bond bug just melted to the ground roadside and left a twisted chassis.

Been researching zircotec ceramic coatings, heat shielding, loads of different items.

The old exhaust wrap ain't such a good product by all accounts

Made me wish I plumbed in a fire extinguisher

I must admit Jamie although you manifold is a work of art i do share you sentiments. I only burnt my shin once on the westory exhaust. The collectors get as hot as hell. There piston hot then theres rotary hot.
Defo coat it. Clives coating was amazing. All heat retained. It aint cheap but i think a must for your design.

I'm hoping the Ferrari f40 style bonnet naca ducts function well as they point directly at the exhaust

I made a footwell "box" out of this after blistering my foot

I have had Racing Beat manifolds done in the past for customers and I'm sure it wasn't crazy money like that.

Normally the only accurate way of getting a quote on a manifold is to send it off to them.
How did you get that figure.

Told them the tube diameter

The length of each header, approx 45" each header..... so 135" in total.

Done in white

OK, Never done it that way so maybe it comes up cheaper if they see it,

Trouble is, I have never seen any other product that can even come close to this stuff / Still worth looking at the sheet they do though

That's the info that merlin motorsport asked of me and they forwarded on.

I've also contacted zircotec direct see what the difference is,

They both have photographs
