I paid about $300 to get a set of new LCBs done last year. Well worth it if you hate the look of rusty exhaust manifolds :wink:
Done by HPC (High Performance Coatings) in Leongatha, Vic.

I'm looking at HPC to do my new LCBs and inlet manifold.
Last week got estimate of:

$275 for the LCB in HP2
$55 weber inlet in HP1

(+ postage)

Cheers, that's the look I'm looking for and $300 isn't too bad. Just need to find somewhere in Perth to get it done :D

From memory the quoted price included postage....

Why don't you go to their web site for a proper quote instead of guessing???

I had a small non-mini related combined inlet/extractor setup coated by competition coatings in South Granville NSW and it was $250 so your quote seems in the ball park.

Edit - Couldn't the pic to upload this morning, here is the ones I had done.

The theory is that the gasses are kept hot therefore the speed of the gases are kept up.
The power gains are made by not having the gasses loitering around in the ports and extractors.

Mostly looks the website claims increase BHP (one or two percent), inhibits thermal fatigue and reduced engine temperature! Only small bonuses but still every little bit helps......
