Looks good - got any pictures or renders of how you plan to pipe it back to the airbox?

Honest question for everyone, wouldn't black color coating attract more heat thus making the uncoated IC perform better?

It's trying to lose heat from the inside, so black is the best colour to radiate that heat into the cooling air.

edit-Glad I got it right.

I tried googling before posting the question and found this exact answer. Thanks for confirming it!

This looks awesome so far!

This looks amazing! any pictures of the under side to show headers and turbo (non proto)

MSTiFK8R · 09-20-2012, 12:30 PM

very clean! keep it up!

is that easy to leave sand\mini-stone chip marks on the painted IC core, when driving out of the dustless city centers?

Definitely good work. My only comment would be that the stealth is ruined by the AVO on the coupler and the airbox. Obviously the airbox has a sticker, so no issue there. Hopefully the coupler is only stamped at one point, so it can be turned 180 degrees downward.
(Don't take this the wrong way, great company and great work. But I for one, want to keep it on the down low)
