[6pack] Exhaust manifold finishing

[levilevi]

Stan,

I applied it with the exhaust in place and it sat there for awhile before I
drove it and it got hot.  But getting hot doesn't seem to change the Calyx at
all so I don't think it needs a "break in" of sorts.  I don't think its that
picky about whether it sits or not or gets hot or not.  It pretty much stays
looking like it did when you put it on.

Regards
Bud

  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.
