I was thinking powder coating, but how would chrome hold up?

you can't powdercoat a manifold, it wil be over 1300 degrees, the powdercoating will melt off. If you want to coat it. I'd suggest www.jethot.com Jet Hot offers a 2000 degree coating, which will not come off. I've used it on some of my previous turbo manifolds. Plus if you have it coated, it will greatly reduce under hood temperatures and focus the heat from the manifold onto the turbo, which will help spool.

We will over a coating on the manifolds as time goes on. We have been worried about getting the kits out. Refinment willl come in the months to follow.
I know we have said it once and I will say it again thanks for all the support as we are very proud to be a leader in the Scion Community.
