Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion · Original poster
Can anyone recommend an outfit in Melbourne that can do some surface and heat protection work on the exterior of the exhaust manifolds that can handle the higher heat temps from running turbo's and at the same time minimise the patina and keep the new factory look in tack so to the untrained eye reflect they haven't been messed with and have just been cleaned up (eg no black or grey heat / ceramic coatings)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I picked up a set of 997.1 exhaust manifolds for my 996TT and looking to do a bit of porting internally on the factory welds in an attempt to increase the flow of the exhaust gasses from the Mezger to see if that can deliver a bit of more right foot throttle response and do something abount lag / getting the turbo's spooling earlier in the rpm range Can anyone recommend an outfit in Melbourne that can do some surface and heat protection work on the exterior of the exhaust manifolds that can handle the higher heat temps from running turbo's and at the same time minimise the patina and keep the new factory look in tack so to the untrained eye reflect they haven't been messed with and have just been cleaned up (eg no black or grey heat / ceramic coatings)

Is it worth buying some specific performance headers rather than modding those ones? Just a thought as there are plenty of performance tuners making good quality sports headers.

POST 3Original post

These guys coated bits and pieces of my old merc (s/c snout, y pipe and intercooler) a couple of years again, everything was done well, I came across them when searching through various forums, it was a fair price also. Hope it helps. https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj7g7StmY7SAhVLXrwKHdxtDRQQFggbMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whitepages.com.au%2Fcompetition-coatings-10697030%2Fcoburg-north-vic-10697027B&usg=AFQjCNGqGsWCr2Gt89oN5QTSshhB7od7iQ&sig2=xtOThg3-0CU7QkclbduhnQ Crap , sorry - didn't realise it was a November post. How did you go with your headers?
