[6pack] Exhaust manifold finishing

[Foster, Stan]

Question about the Calyx... Is this something that you have to apply and
immediately install and get hot before the finish is fixed or is it something
that you could apply, leave sitting around for a few weeks and then install
with no detrimental affect ?

I tried this and thought it held up well for what it was.  For me the Calyx
was a way to dress up the rusted, calico cat colored, stock exhaust manifold
until I decided whether to put headers on or not.  The calyx went on easy and
held up for a season which was way easier than taking it apart just for looks
when I potentially had other plans.  It didn't smoke, smell, or change
color...I did have to touch it up after a few months but very little.   Given
the ease, value, satisfaction, and the advantages of procrastination I'd say
give it a try.
