Yes, I did mine when she was gone travelling for the weekend ... they stunk out the whole house. I bet the fumes are toxic.

I used the "cast iron" colour.

I didnt realize the nub gets a dose of orange

thats cool!

as far as the aluminum color goes...

the local ctc store always has aluminum paint on hand

so I just use it 

the cast color looks great!

have you installed your manifolds yet?

if so, did you notice more power??

No I haven't installed them yet. They are spares waiting for a complete engine rebuild.

The heat riser is another thing you should look at. See if it is free moving.

I removed the baffle set-up out of a spare heat riser and Cold Weld epoxied the pin hole, then painted it cast colour. Now it has a smooth, flow-through design. Looks almost stock once installed. They actually sell them like this aftermarket. Word of caution; used for warm weather driving only.
