Cheap Thermal Coating???

[Olay180]

I want to get my turbo manifold and O2 housing thermal coated. Instead of paying close to $100 for a company to do it, ya'll think this would be a better choice??

DEI HT Silicone coating (http://store.summitracing.com/product.asp?d=8&s=85&p=451&searchtype=ecat)

man I would never use that spray on stuff. I don't have any experience with it but come on, it can't possibly be 10% as good as a real ceramic/Swain/JetHot/etc coating.  I would say pay the $100 and save yourself a headache.

While you're right that it wouldn't look as good as the geniune article, for $7 it certainly couldn't hurt. &nbsp;If it doesn't work, you can still have them professionally coated later. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I don't think that product is a thermal coating. &nbsp;It looks more like some type of rust proofer or protectant. &nbsp;It doesn't really mention anything about lowering engine bay temps.

Cheeper Solution, is to use the Thermal Tech wrap..

I have it wrapped around my DP and Wastegate pipping, and keeps everything nice and neat.

Not as pretty looking as a coating, but for 20 bucks in wrapping you can cover what you need to get the job done.

Well i sent the manifold out earlier today, im still gonna try the stuff in a can, just on my O2 housing, my friend that fixed up my manifold for me said that spray stuff would work, might as well give it a try. Keep ya'll posted. Thanks for the response.
