Manifolds are ceramic thermal coated in black and since they weren't leaking when I got the truck I'm thinking they shouldn't be now. I have the one offending port set up with a new gasket and a liberally thick coat of high temp silicone. We'll see how that goes. I generally don't use silicone on exhaust ports as it's not a good practice.

I'm still mainly bothered by Remflex's lack of return contact.....
