    PPE manifolds & up pipes , Duramax store brand or??

    they have some different options to choose from, but i would be using their turbine coat which has been tested to 1,750f. I'd be happy to get a set coated up if anyone wants to do a test. Might need to get rick back in here haha. he probably has already thought of these things. It is a...

    im agunsmith and use this stuff all the time. Its a good product. I have been wanting a spare frame to coat for a while if I have any takers :):). Im moving into PVD coatings, which is great for small parts but I don't have the equipment for big jobs yet. Need a couple hundred k first

    Not to argue, but cerakote is ceramic. http://www.cerakotehightemp.com/resources/files/testing/C7300BlackVelvetTest.pdf FWIW. Since you can also buy and use them raw, the coating for me is for rust prevention as I live in the norhteast on the water, where we have salt 24/7/365. Ricks coatings...

    Roger on PPE/Dmaxstore. wasn't aware PPE started making them in house. Im not sure as far as Mishi. I called them up a few times asking about that kit, I think $300 is insane for what you get, I explained I only needed the one piece, they said no problem after taking a few days to isolate the...

    Mishi said they'd sell the one fitting for $80, then you'd need a 3-2.5" 5" boot for the race pipe. PPE made a boot for it, but I left my coldside off the cooler stock for now since i'll probably do a cooler prior to turbo anyway

    I thought the PPE's were ricks but rebranded and coated? Whereas the dmaxstore appears to be more along the lines of a straight copycat. Rick? Mike I had almost bought the coldside mishi fitting off the intercooler to feed the race pipe. My main like of them was that they are metal with band...

    And not bashing the dmax product really. But per usual for me and as it seems is common on this forum , I value quality and professionalism. To me, Rick fits that bill. Dmaxstore i won't comment. Rick's spent a lot of time designing this stuff and i for one believe that my money is better of...

    I dont hve the coin to do a turbo and mani/ups at the same time. Might as well install what can be used first lol. I would do it even if i kept the stock turbo for the egt benefits.
