Seems as if I read that coating an intake will affect its performance... What affect would powder coating have on an intake manifold ??? Will heat discolor Powder Coating??? Don ------------------

A powdercoated intake retains the heat more, so you may lose a horse or two, but it is easier to keep clean.------------------
