Default Zircotec ceramic coated inlet manifold

Hi all

I'm selling my inlet manifold that has been smoothed, no mild lines or original texture. It was then ceramic coated by Zircotec (best in the business). It cost over £150 for the smoothing and the coating.

It's finished in Zircotec yellow - their version of gold.





Tgv's included. I'll dig out some pics of it in the engine bay

£90 + PayPal fees and postage. Postage should be about £14. Collection welcomed

Thanks

I've just check invoice and it's their "performance yellow/gold" and cost £170 for just the ceramic coating. The buyer is more than welcome to the invoice which has an invoice number that Ivan @ Zircotec can confirm

Is this just aesthetic, or did you see a performance gain?

It's not just cosmetic mate. If it was you could just spend £30 (not £170) powder coating it. I had this and all my fmic pipes coated and when mapping the air intake temps were right down. Zircotec is the best ceramic coating you can get mate

Soapy water should take them off according to zircotec without affecting the finish.SJ.

Hi, they are wrx tumblers. These can easily be modified to the sti style. I wouldn't mind doing it for a few extra quid. I would of thought most if not all the dirt will come off but that's your responsibility. Thanks

The price is above, with or without the tumblers. Don't mean to blunt but it's a very good price and worth a lot more
