wrinkle finish on IC pipes
is there any real benefit like keep pipes cooler or something? or just for custom look styling?

It's for a "clean" OEM appearance. Some like bling some don't.

Honestly I don't know about that. I'd imagine if there was a significant difference then someone like AVO would jump on the marketing aspect of it? As it stands they market the black as "stealth look". It is on the pipes and intercooler.

People use it to maintain OEM like appearance. It wears a bit better than glossy pipes too, shows scratches less.
