	Hi, has anyone had an exhaust manifold ceramic coated? I'm hoping to find someone who can either confirm or deny how much it will lower engine bay temps.

	I'd say that's a very expensive experiment to find a virtually impossible to measure temp figure!

	My colleague did on his MK1 Focus RS. Never measured before and after but it was very noticeable, and now his slam panel cover doesn't melt when he thrashes it.

	My friend is a TVR specialist and recommends ceramic coating to reduce the underbonnet temps on a lot of the TVRs especially the V8's Never measured the differences but it is very noticable in reducing the temps in the engine bay. Don't think you'll get anyone with measured differences as its such a hard thing to do accurately

	From Zircotec's website: What temperature reduction can I expect with my coated exhaust…. – Our Performance Range™ offers typical surface temperature reductions of 33%; so if your uncoated exhaust operates at say 600oC , then our ceramic coating will reduce this to just 400oC (so a massive 200oC reduction). This has a major impact on the amount of heat escaping into the engine compartment, and on the temperature of components close to the exhaust. Our ceramic coating has in fact been demonstrated to reduce general underbonnet temperatures by up to 50oC (122oF). Friend of mine also does ceramic coating Autoflock Motorsport I'm looking at getting the downpipe and some of the charge pipes for my RX7 coated to improve engine bay temps and charge temps. Cheers AL.
