This topic is about my Where in the States do you buy the gasket that fits between the manifold and downpipe for the 1500 Euro setup? Or, do I have to order it out of England?

Hi Kyle,
Yes, painting is one option I'm considering. The debate in my head at the moment is whether I simply want it to look nice, or whether I want to go through the hassle and expense to have the benefits of ceramic, eg. lower under-bonnet heat, increased heat retention within the manifold, and the improved extraction of the hot gases that entails. Dilemmas like this tend to stop me dead in my tracks.
