I used Cermakrome from a local company. It did decrease the footwell
temperature in my opinion, and the car does run much better due to under
bonnet temps being lower ... but I can't say about the floorboards as I sit on
the right side.
Maniflow header and intake were from APT. I was unaware at the time that they
would also ceramic coat it, or I would have used their service.

I seem to recall that I had a bit of an issue with emails as I was emailing
David and he was out of the country for a bit visiting family in the UK, I
believe. I would certainly recommend dealing with him. YMMV, but for me, he
was A1+++.

PS: I haven't had much opportunity to drive the 100 in the heat. In that one
I do sit over the exhaust. If there is a problem ( which I do anticipate ) I
will use ceramic coating on the manifold.
