Default Re: Painted or natural cast exhaust manifold

I'd check with those who've done thiers years ago, after lots of miles. Because when the coating starts to burn off or wear it then looks really ugly. It doesn't come off/burn evenly. I replaced mine with a repro about 10 years ago. Left it natural, it has an even rust color to it. I think it looks "right". However, my car is definitely a driver. My $.02
