Sure can, it is aluminum.

I know anodizing fades from heat, and I've never seen an anodized housing. I don't know how hot the housing gets, so I wondered.

if it's hard to find paint in the kiwi green color, it's gonna be hard to anodize in that color.

Anodizing can be done at home fairly easily and cheaply. However good anodizing and color purity is achieved with expensive electrical equipment and hybrid catalyst. Dialing in the voltages to achieve the color you want is pretty time consuming.

Going to run fbms 3 inch exhaust and have them put a 3 inch flange on the dp. Now I need to find a true 3 inch overpipe. Not a 3 inch pipe with 2.5 flanges. Anyone running something similar or know for sure who has 3 inch flanges?

Nameless performance does, only issue with them is the long waiting times. Also most three inch over pipes need a front pipe with them too. In nameless's case they incorporated both together.

If you would like to finish your build quicker and not wait for nameless ,a custom one might be the way to go!

Reaper · 02-16-2014, 07:52 PM

problem is the nameless is an OP/FP and the FBM is overpipe back so i would be paying for a large section of pipe i would be cutting off and welding a flange on as well. And oh yeah the wait time. That and my DP is already welded up with the 2.5 and about to be shipped out from FBM. Looks like it might just be a 2.5 OP to 3 inch fbm exhaust. Seems like everyone has been making great power with a 2.5 OP or there is secretly a ton of custom built overpipes running around. I need to make my decision tonight as my kit is almost ready to ship!

Truth.

mike the snake · 02-16-2014, 11:01 PM

I can chime in and say that I agree, LJ's customer service is the best I've come across.

It is very appreciated. Emails and PM's responded to promptly, even when he was on vacation, calls always answered, parts sent immediately.

I couldn't ask for more, and I'm happy I went with Full Blown for my turbo kit choice.
