Default Intake coatings?

Is it legal to have an intake manifold "coated" for the sake of appearences. I want to have a cast iron intake sent to nitroplate for the black coating, but not sure if its "allowed" in stock.

Thanks,

Outside of intake should be ok. Inside is not.

yes you can coat the outside, and the bottom if you so wish, just not in the runners

Thumbs up Re: Intake coatings?

Outside is ok. ...I have the top and bottom of my manifold coated . ....The biggest benefit is on the bottom from a thermal barrier coat. ..... make sure what Nitroplate is offering is a thermal barrier ,not just a protective coating. ........Tom
