Default POR-15 on crossover & DP= cool

Got done coating the crossover and downpipe.It went on real easy no problems and looked like it was coated when it sat for a lil.Its funny cause it actually reminded me of a certain turbo companies black coating,lol.Anyways,after i let the car run for 10 minutes i turned it off and put my hand on the downpipe and could leave it there guess its doing its job,lol.Just dont get it on you cause its a real PITA to get off.i recommend it,i ended up doing my exhaust all the way back to the rear axle.seems to be a really good insulator

thanks guys its regular POR-15 its holding up pretty good except in the places i didnt apply it very well like up near the headers due to access.it flaked off there but otherwise its doing great.A pint of it was $40 and i was like but it really went a LONG way did the crossover/dp/exhaust and still have almost half left.it did smoke really bad at first but its better now.i wonder if the STS guys could use this stuff to help insulate alot.

Country Boy...you know the pics im talking about for comparo
