    ...doesn't it?

    Seems like I should be able to get it done for $50 or less, unless I am way off the mark.

    Anyone know approximate prices?

    Powder coating an exhaust manifold would not be a good idea ...

    Intake, and $35 sounds more like it.

    I thought that guy was trying to screw me with that outrageous price. I could get an entire new manifold for that price.

    I think you can get the entire Harbor Frieght setup for less than a hundert bux (don't laugh, a member here started a business with one from HB). It's a very simple process. Sandblast part, degrease, put on rack, start up the PC, spray powder, put in oven for n Minutes. Fin. :huh:

    I am sure they have high heat powder coating that would stand up just like high heat paint or better......
