Heat the manifold up internally with a hair dryer to tighten the wrinkles up a lot.
I had a hair dryer running for 45 mins through the throttle body hole & had the manifold stood off the ground on some dowels to let the hot air flow all the way through the manifold.

Any have a good diy on the removal of the manifold? When i do this i plan to buy the pheolonic spacers and instal them at the same time. Saw some on ebay that looked ok.

Has anyone bought the VHT wrinkle red lately? Ive read on the net that the formula has changed and it is now too orange to match the original manifolds. I was thinking it may be an american thing so I was hoping someone local could help out.

I bought some from auto one in Wanneroo a few weeks back. I'm happy with the color. Not sure if it may have been old stock etc.

I too did mine a few backs and mine is near enough the same as the factory colour...
Got it from auto one for $17 bucks a tin used 1 and a half tins of it, although I did my intercooler pipes also :) |
To stop the paint from coming off again you need to etch prime the manifold first,
