Default Most likely it's coated, check this out:

Ceramic coating is much easier.

Default On that volvo, the polished part is the intake manifold which is aluminum...

i think you're better off ceramic coating as habe mentioned.

Default No, but they can be coated...

This is obviously not a cast manifold but you get the idea with my tubular exhaust manifold and the down pipe. Along with the Bling, the coating retains the heat of the exhaust within the manifold &amp; DP and that equates to retained energy and a faster flow. At least, that's the idea.
