Question Should I Chrome My Turbo Manifold or Not?
I was thinking of getting the manifold chromed so that when Im sitting in a show the engine bay is more attractive. But is it a good idea (using the maxrev mani)? will I have heat problems? Im also planning on chroming the turbo housing and the charge pipes. any issues by doing that?

If you have the MaxRev manifold polish it. It is stainless steel.

Chrome will discolor. Polished stainless should do better, but I'm not sure how much better...

Or spend more money and get it ceramic coated. Chroming the manifold won't last very long since its a very hot location....
