Re: 35 Exhaust Manifold
Think you need to specify what type of show you are referring to, points on original?

Re: 35 Exhaust Manifold
There's a high-temperature powder coat available which I use in flat dark charcoal for all exhaust system components, including mufflers. It is far superior to any of the spray on or brush on alternatives. (Make sure your powder coat source knows to plug the ends of the muffler before blasting it in preparation for the powder coating or you will be in for a messy surprise on engine start up.)

Thanks for the input. I was referring to show quality.

That's what I was referring to, namely show quality.

Re: 35 Exhaust Manifold
There are several types of car shows.. If you are thinking about EFV8 Club sanctioned events then the car has to be as Ford built it.. The exhaust manifolds would have to be bare cast iron. The rest of the exhaust system would have to be bare metal. The more casual type of car show, ie; street rods etc., anything goes, it's whatever floats your boat.

Re: 35 Exhaust Manifold
Sorry, but numerous Ford archives photos show painted exhaust systems on the assembly line (as well as those which are obviously not painted). A well-informed judge will know that.

Re: 35 Exhaust Manifold
Dave, Like you I have my entire exhaust system powder finished to best mimic what Ford was producing. It holds up very well.
