Dremel tool with flexible head is nice for that job I've used it on my RS stamped inlet mani, works perfect But it took few hours till I made it as I wanted

any piks of what this dremel will get it to lookk like?

Sanding wheel on a drill to remove the rough stuff and dremel kit to remove the hard to get into bits

After that its just a case of rubbing it down and using finer grades of paper as you go along and polishing to get the effect

sorry no pics, it was in the car the moment I finished it.


Dremel tools comes with all kind of "heads" You can sand and polish any way You like

To polish it You need something like this:

and some polishing grease

I used the big ones, last longer, and fits perfect in air ports

If money isn't an object then look into getting it ceramic coated. That can be done to look like chrome and will also reduce inlet air temps.

Here's a pic of a ceramic coated 172 exhaust manifold a friend had done. No reason why the inlet manifold couldn't be done the same.
