What coatings are you guys using?
What coatings are you guys using? I am about to start on my truck manifold build. I will be making this out of mild steel. I would not wrap it due to the 
factor and also because it would prob collect moisture and rot the pipes. That being said, what coatings are you guys using? How is it holding up? What was the cost when all is said and done? thanks!

If you use DEI Titanium wrap its waterproof and keeps the heat down substantially. Otherwise just some black ceramic coating works well. Im getting my headers done as we speak. Im getting mine done by a start up company locally so they are costing me 60$.
F show, the more people know about my ride, the fewer races I'll get. I'll do what it takes to make the set-up run more efficiently. Granted I understand the way it might look to you, but hey... that wrap will help BIG time for the amount it costs... then again the coating is better because it lasts longer, but the cost is larger as well...
I see what you are saying, however i am of the belief that you can have something functional and look great at the same time. I love my stuff to look clean. My old setup was clean and so shall this one! 
My car will be sneaky for about one night, word spreads fast around here, so no use in trying to hide anything lol.

Without wrap I could see the motor mount melting and the boot as well.
This is coming from someone who has a show quality engine, polished and stainless steel everywhere. To each his own though. See if it works! Oh and now I use Jet-Hot. One of the best for coatings! Not cheap.

i dont have a turbo, but Procharger, after making up all the tubes to/from the intercooler, i take them up and have the header coating put on them, they charge around $12 a foot-usually he just quotes a price and doesnt meas, so its cheap enough-when i was gonna go turbo, i was goint to take all that stuff up, manifolds and all-after it goes thru the shaker, it shines pretty good(poor mans chrome)
the place is right up the street from me, so a whole lot easier than having to mail it out
years ago i had some pipes chromed, the copper coating was inside the tubes, would flake off, go right in the engine-i never had any chromed after that
