Anyone have pictures of stainless manifolds that have been used for several thousand miles. I want to see how the manifolds finish has held up. How much discoloration have you seen? Please post your manifold picture and brand.

Regards,
Justin

 

It doesnt hold up. All stainless steel, any gauge will discolor with time and enough heat. Only way around it is to ceramic coat or paint it.

 

I want to see oxidized and corroded manifolds. Pictures please!

 

Look at this man, worst mani on the planet, 8000 miles still looks new. All you have to do it CLEAN the thing, lint free rags and windex are your friend. If you leave fingerprints on it, it will stain because of the oil in them.

I now rock an Arizona Forced Induction mani and its a duller gold because it's natural BUT, it's still spotless. Just not as many miles as you wanted.

 

yep... ss auto **** manifold will look great cracked on the freeway when it falls off your car

hahah i chimed in on that

 

my old SS autochrome manifold never cracked

If the manifold is ALWAYS cleaned whenever the car is worked on and before starting to get rid of the oils, etc it will stay a nicer gold..

 

 

hell yea!!

Thanks for your input, you make H-T what it is today,

Like I said, 8000 miles and it still looked like that and had 0 cracks. I replaced it becuase TurboJesse's deal was too good to pass up when he first opened AFI otherwise I would STILL be rolling with it. The guy I sold it to is still driving on it with no problems.

Either way, as I and others who thought of contributing to this thread vice spewing mounds of band wagoneer bullshit, if you clean the thing, it will be fine and won't deteriorate other than turn a nice pretty gold color just like my current AFI mani looks.

 

What do you guys do if it does get some fingerprints on it?I have heard wet sand it or use scotchbrite?

 

I have heard the same thing but I don't know how well it will really work so I am always rediculously careful to never get them.
