That looks familiar!

Found much of a performance gain when compared to your old OBX + decat pipe setup?

Genuine question.

Yes mate. Far better reponse esp mid range. Is louder aswell!

Ah cool, didnt realise it was just muck on top of the manifold, looked like the coating was faulty!

I don't know how long ceramic coatings are meant to last however that manifold is at least 5 years old now!

I used to have it fitted on my car before selling it to the guy who's since sold it to Sam. There's just a bit of brown coming through at all the welded sections, on the top flange, where it goes 4-2 and then on the flange under the car (though that's as much from stone chipping as anything else). A lick of paint would do it the world of good.

Fantastic bit of kit though, if I hadn't gotten an ST170 manifold to fit on mine instead (eventually) then I'd still have it!

Dave it is coming off in the summer to be re-finished in black.
