Intercooler Pipes
 
My engine is not shiny, I have a choice between black powder coat and polished. Polished it cool because it shows it off, but I feel like it might be out of place. Black is cool because if I need to make an extra piece, it will be easier to match.

Help me decide!

Polished might make a small difference in temp as black absorbs heat. :huh:

On the down side polished needs to be maintained clean or looks pretty ghetto pretty fast.

I say go black. No needs to clean it all the time.

Maybe black ceramic coating for insulation from heat?

We're in Cali. The climate makes it much less of a problem over all.

Its just like the problem with wrapping headers, they will corrode from the inside out.
