    I am about to purchase Nouvalari headers. They said they ceramic coat them if you want, but I am not sure if they do the inside of the manifolds as well.

    I recall reading somewhere that it might not be a good idea to coat the inside of them...

    Anyone have any info regarding this? I Did a search but couldn't find what I read.

    I was also wondering if anyone has Nouvalari or aftermarket headers and what your experience has been with these, ceramic coated or not?

    Yep, my F 355 wants to spit out the OEM manifolds and is requesting new ones. The LH one is spitting packing insulation out; a likely sign of a failed manifold. Time to change them.

    Thanks guys.

    Just put the order in with Glenn at Nouvalari. Nice fellow, great customer service. In any case I got them without the coating and saved almost 1/3 of the price. Going to order the heat shields instead.

    Anyone have any issues with NON-COATED manifolds?

    I am hoping I wont lose any mid-range power, given that they are the same configuration as OEM...comments?

    At least they are guaranteed!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more header worries.
