Yes, I’ve used it on headers. Not the best thing since sliced bread, but it does make it look better for awhile. Does eventually wear/burn off and I found it happily transfers back onto your hands if you’re working around where it was applied. Haven’t tried it on a stock manifold yet.

Here’s some before and after pics. You’ll want to wear gloves while applying, unless you want to come out looking like the tin man!

Thanks for the pics Mary, my Cheby buddy was putting it on some stock cast manifolds when I saw it. I had never seen it before. We discussed putting it on headers and he never had, only cast manifolds?? He wire brushed the manifolds and then applied it with a toothbrush, they really looked good.

Ben, I think POR makes a similar product. I’ve used it and it works ok. Like Mary said it eventually burns off.

Never seen the powdered stuff either, but I have used the Por 15 coating....

Thanks guys, I've seen the POR stuff and many other "exhaust coatings & paint", but I had never seen this one, it's a paste, put it on with a ice cream stick, toothbrush or finger!!! It comes in a small cup, but according to my Cheby buddy, goes a long way. He's had his for 10-12 years and done over 4-5 cast exhaust manifolds, still has half a cup. I'm gonna get a cup and will report back!!!%)%)
