Dam those parts look good. Seems that would be a good option for the Steed. Seen a few guys post pics of the Cerakote lately. Any long term history on holding up?

The coating holds up well. Main way to make it last is to get coating done before there is any rust(new) and a smooth surface get better results. Had both the cast exhaust housings polished this time before coating. I never knew cast iron could shine so good!

I removed the first manifold I had done after a year on the truck. It was dulled out some. Wiped it clean and used some polish and it brought the shine back. Only places that had any problems was in the valleys that were able to hold water. Had faint specks of rust. I wash under the hood frequently and not sure if it was rust coming through or rust from the high iron well water I have. That manifold was used and rusted when I bought it. All the new parts I have done have had zero issues.

It is just a high temp, ceramic coating the shop offers
It was $90 for the manifold and $40 f or the elbow
I can try to find some pics, but it looks brand new as the day I installed it......no rust coming through, no flaking, etc

You can't spray cerakote over rust, the part has to be blasted and completely degreased or it will never adhere.

this is correct, and the blasting requires a specific media as well for surface roughness

Mine started flaking off after the first test drive on new setup. Took it to the track and lost a turbo. F.I. said the turbine wheel got trashed and I noticed the coating was coming off on the inside of the manifold as well.

I had my exhaust housing coated with http://swaintech.com/race-coatings/r...aust-coatings/ then sprayed a high temp black over it.
Had the exhaust manifold done at http://nitroplate.com/coatings/nitroplate-bright/

Yeap, I thought about doing that. I may just have a turbo blanket and manifold blanket made for my setup.

Steed has now changed coaters and will be offering the silver ceramic option as well, this coating is much more durable and should last.

So it wasn't "that pos turbo's" fault after all....

I'm willing to bet they used a cheaper coating to keep the end cost down for the consumer. I'm sure there will be a price hike using a more durable coating but it will probably be cheaper than having to get it done yourself.
