I have a Weapon R manifold that is yet to be installed I have covered the whole thing with DEI Reflect a Gold... High intake temperature kills power output.

I am going to start experimenting with Ceramic Coating as part of my powder coating business. That is how I plan on doing mine when the time comes. I always recommend to look at the ceramic route with intake or exhaust parts.
