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. http://www.geocities.com/blue2gnt --------------------------------------------------------------- VANILLA RICE

Well EGTs can hit upwards of 1600 degrees, and since those hot gases exit right into the manifold at a high velocity, I would assume that it gets pretty close to that temperature.

You can colored ceramic coated from Jet-Hot. I dont think any normal high temp paint will work. I couldn't even get 1500deg paint to stay on my 1rst header for very long and I cured it as instructed and all.

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? http://www.geocities.com/blue2gnt --------------------------------------------------------------- VANILLA RICE
