Stan,
I applied it with the exhaust in place and it sat there for awhile before I
drove it and it got hot. But getting hot doesn't seem to change the Calyx at
all so I don't think it needs a "break in" of sorts. I don't think its that
picky about whether it sits or not or gets hot or not. It pretty much stays
looking like it did when you put it on.
Regards
Bud

Question about the Calyx... Is this something that you have to apply and
immediately install and get hot before the finish is fixed or is it
something
that you could apply, leave sitting around for a few weeks and then install
with no detrimental affect ?

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.
