lets see your smoothed out exhaust manifolds.

mainly ram horn sbc. -- but id like to see any make or style of smoothed out manifolds. coated or painted or raw.

i have a pair of smooooothed out manifolds that are smooth 'EVERYWHERE' sides, back, around bolt holes etc... smooth as gl*** chrome plated & they look nice. HOURS of work!! many!
i have another pair i left raw & had cerma chrome coated.

i have seen some other smoothed out manifolds some of you have that you left rough cast aound the bolt holes & maybe on the sides & they looked 'really good!' dont know where i saw them?
anyone have pics?
im not trying to get out of extra work on these manifolds im doing now just wanted to see some pics if anyone has any.
i have them looking really good maybe see some pics to convince myself there done & send them in.

 

none? lets see some pics of your exhaust.

 

what was involved in porcelin (sp) coating manifolds....seems like it was something done back in the day....

 

Yep Mine are ceramic coated,just like a sink or bath tub

 

I hear crickets. WAH WAH WAAHHH.

 

Mine were done over 20 years ago in Porcelain . Now it has cracks and chips ..........Z.D.

 

hours and hours and hours with a grinder.

 

whaaat???
wheres your manifold pic?

 

39 chev -- yes it looks like you have MORE than 'some time in those!
Z.Diddy -- those look good too!

more manifold pics please. coated, painted, rusty or otherwise.

 

Here are mine. 1963 327 with stock rams horns. Lots of grinding dust everywhere. I had them ceramic coated but have not run it more than the initial start. I don't know how long the coating will hold up as the truck is not complete yet.

 

Yeah.Are your's porcelained? Speak when spoken to

 

Where are yours?

 

right here man. im about 1/2 done with this one the other is 'about' done.
i took the center cross web out after i saw 39 chevs pics.
leave the studs in until done they make for a good tripod.

now wheres yours?

 

Did mine, turned out ok....
Went with lakestyle headers.

 

I didn't want them too nice. Just clean and smooth with no big pits and factory numbers.

 

Here's one of the hard to find, right side swept back.
HemiDeuce.

 

mine before the ceramic coating

 

Ceramic coated

 

I think you can see better in this one

 

I have a set of ceramic coated that I took off to put Sandersons on.I think I am goin to put them back on because I am tired of changing header gaskets.

 

picked mine up yesterday. they look excellent.
i had 7 hours in the pair.
When i picked them up the platers told me they were the best ones they ever plated but maybe theyve only plated one pair before?!?!?!
