8313, How hot is the exhaust manifold? Posted by cyan, Sep-12-01 04:45 PM does anyone know the maximum temperature the outside of the hahn manifold should reach? even a generalized guess? 500 degrees, 800 degrees, or closer to 1200 degrees? i am planning to match the manifold to the BOV and piping which ive already had painted and will be getting the manifold heat-painted as well if it can withstand the temperatures the paint is recommended for. | |

8316, RE: How hot is the exhaust manifold? Posted by cyan, Sep-13-01 04:13 AM well i may try it and see what happens, did the paint you used burn off or did it catch fire or did it melt and make shit nasty? | |
