But for manifolds, I don't know. 1100F is still hot. It's glowing.

We do several manifolds including Greddy. You have to understand manufactures don't dig them and sell them. We have to force the metal into shape therefore creating a mountain of stress. Or send me a manifold and I can jig it up and make a better one.
