We'll see how long the coating lasts, I'll post an update later in the summer.

Appears to be a RevHard manifold
Yes, it does look a lot better. What was the cost if I may ask?

Theoretically, the ceramic coating will aid in keeping the heat inside. I don't know of anyone that has actually collected data to prove this, but I admit that my main purpose for doing it was cosmetic.

they did mine excellent service + job it really dropped the underhood temp

I talked to the coating guy, he said it is also purposely coated on the inside, not just overspray.
