Which looks better, performs better whatever.. Ceramic coated Upper intake and Lower intake on a 88 turbo or Just polish it? I heard there is a slight performance increase with a ceramic coated uim. lim. Besides I am worried that the clear stuff from eastwood will Yellow from the heat. So I'm leaning to ceramic for $120 coated.



I bought the manifold polishing kit from eastwood and it is taking forever to polish with a die grinder.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png



I figure ceramic might be better..

If you ask me...your asking two different questions on two totally different things.

If you want looks.....polish! If you want function....ceramic!

You can get the ceramic with the chrome look now and it will give you the looks you want, but not the mirror effect polishing will do

id vote for the polish...

the advantage for coating lies in the exhaust side...

actually why would you want to ceramic coat an upper intake manifold? you dont want to keep heat in there. go for the bling bling

HPC hipercoat(or is it hyper) is mirror finish, just as good as polishing is. And the point of ceramically coating a intake is to keep the heat out.
