I tried this and thought it held up well for what it was. For me the Calyx
was a way to dress up the rusted, calico cat colored, stock exhaust manifold
until I decided whether to put headers on or not. The calyx went on easy and
held up for a season which was way easier than taking it apart just for looks
when I potentially had other plans. It didn't smoke, smell, or change
color...I did have to touch it up after a few months but very little. Given
the ease, value, satisfaction, and the advantages of procrastination I'd say
give it a try.

Stan,
I saw this product suggested on the Wedge list:

I did some research this morning into high temp manifold paint and cast
iron manifolds. The consensus seems to be that these finishes will work
for a while but eventually it will either peel off or rust will
eventually re-appear.
Does anyone have a good story here using paint or should I just give it
up and stick with the rusty cast iron ?.
Stan
