heat shield or ceramic

[dsm1212]

I can't really decide which one would be better. Both cost around the same, I have an Fp manifold that i haven't installed yet and found a JMfab heat shield for 100 or i can get it coated for about the same with shipping. Did some searching but no one really says which one would be better.

coat it.
coating retains the heat within the mani, aiding in exh. gas velocity. Heat shield will (obviously) keep the heat from transferring into other nearby items, but does nothing for retaining heat within the manifold.

Just my 2 cents.

Why not both?

But if i had to choose one or the other, id go with ceramic,
Iv'e personally seen how drastic the heat difference is before/after and its pretty amazing (not like that cheap spray can)

For ceramic definetly check out TCC
TCC Powder and Ceramic Coating

Well Guess I will be getting it coated, i just didn't know if ceramic really made that big of a difference for under hood temps, but after i get it coated if its still to hot i guess i could always get the shield also.

yeah i would do both. thanks to rogan for the helpful incite!

Both. Btw I saw mention in another thread that the heat shield from JMF was discontinued. Not sure if that's true though.

ceramic coating is the way to go.made my camaro's headers a lot cooler.so underhood temps without doubt is cooler.so i'd highly recommend the ceramic coating.got mine coated from jet-hot awesome product no doubt.

Sorry to appear slightly off topic...but what about thermal wrap?

 

[dsm1212]

Seems like a lot of people have mixed feelings on the thermal wrap.

awesome well i just sent the manifold off to him so i will have to post some pics when it gets back. I am kinda interested in gettting the heat shield also and having him coat that wonder if that would make a difference.

The Classic Chrome Company my uncle used this and it works amazing if you wanted to do it your self also..

 

[dsm1212]

That seems pretty cool and would look really good, but don't our manifolds get hotter than 1300?

 

[talon_frost]

here is a pic of what his looks like before and after

 

[dsm1212]

wow that actually looks like it turns out really well

That is exactly right, 4g63 turbo manifolds will see temperatures around 1,700 degrees F.
Chrome ceramic is only good up to around 1,200 degrees F which is exactly why we don't offer it to our customers

that's what i thought, and non chrome ceramic can withstand spikes to 2000F right? That is why I sent my manifold to you haha and i think that the satin silver will look pretty good

The ceramic we use is good up to 2,000 degrees F but not all ceramics are the same.

Here is a customer's FP manifold which we coated back in Nov 08
Pictue was taken July 26, 09..........about 8 months of turbocharged heat

My god, that is beautiful. Not just the header, the whole engine bay. The fact it looks so good while being 15+ years old and keeping most of the stock accessories... wow.
