coating on steed speed manifolds - Page 3 - Competition Diesel.Com

Does the thickness of the Swain White Lightning coating cause clearance issues on parts?
I like the thought of this on my manifold, connect pipe from primary to secondary.
If I were to use this also on the exhaust housing is there enough clearance for this type of coating not to cause issues?

Would coating like this be worth doing the downpipe also?
Cold pipes for twin setup?

How far do you go with this type of coating?

Am hoping the mfr would give some type of $$ break if you have several parts being coated?

The white lighting maybe adds a 32nd.

after I sprayed high temp black on it.

Cost was the same for me, ordered early December, new coating. Haven't received it yet. They had to make it. Should be here soon.
