The stuff I've got is usable up to 250 degrees. What temperature does the B14 exhaust manifold hit when running?

There's some super hot stuff from hellfrauds (can't remember if it's this stuff or not) but I've been told it will hold fine.

They have some nice alloys in there though, much better than that compomotive, speedline or ultralite rubbish!

Errr I think so. Whatever the hottest stuff they have, that's what I've been told is fine.
