Polishing Manifold/Ic pipes HELP

dremel + polishing compound for i/c pipes
as for your manifolds, all cast iron manifolds end up looking crappy. you can sand blast it if you want, that might help.

They're all steel so there's nothing you can do with them except powder coat or chrome them. The manifold you can have jet-hot coated or something similar.

I'm goign to just wing it and see what happens, .. .er.... hope I don't do something bad!
I'm just going to start with some ULTRA FINE sand paper. Say like... 4000 grit and stuff. Then smoot it out, wash it up, and then use some stainless steel polish since my turbo manifold is stainless. (thanks maxrev!)

Re: Polishing Manifold/Ic pipes HELP (TurboSohc)
you shouldnt polish those pieces, maybe the piping but not the manifold. i took my manifold and turbine section and had it ceramic coated and it looks sweet. you should either powder coat them or spay them with a high temperature paint

Thanks, I'll think about that.
Say.. how much does it cost to ceramic coat it?
And what are teh benifits of doing so anyway?
