Hi,

While we're on the subject of POR-15, has anyone tried
the exhaust coating? Hi-Temp version of POR-15, grey,
silver or black, supposedly good to 1400 Deg.F.... I
just spent a wad on a new exhaust for my Syncro, and
I'd like to keep it looking good. I'm thinking; light
sanding where it has already rusted, pre-treatment,
POR-15, then a Header Wrap on the pipes.... to keep
the sun off ( hey, in a Syncro, you never know when
you'll be upside down:) Mostly cosmetic, when I took
the old pipes out, looking at them you'd think they
would snap off in your hand, the rust was so thick,
but they turned out to be suprisingly robust, just the
connections were shot. I killed 2 Sawzall blades
getting thru them by the head flanges.
