> [@newman](#): > > When I coat it, I want to coat everything. I want to see if there are any issues with the manifold before I do that, so I will wrap the DP for the time being, then down the road I can remove the manifold and coat it. Not worried about having to remove some corrosion under the wrapped headers before coating? I understand the rationale. Just asking. I guess you won’t be driving 100k miles or anything but… ---

anything corrodes if exposed to the elements and given time, although im sure with the coating and quality of metal and care this will be fine. i sell ambulances, and if they have extrusions of a dissimilar alloy, electrolysis will occur even though they are both technically aluminum, resulting in corrosion. shit i’m going through this as we speak with a customer ---
