Whats the turn around time?

Turn around time is 2-3days before its shipped back out.. also polishing the inside of the TB or plenum isn't necessarily a good idea as it can promote drag and reduce intake velocity

smoother surface creates more drag?

yes... as air moves across a smooth surface it drags across it creating friction which creates heat and slows your air flow.. a porous or slightly rough surface creates little pockets or swirls of air that the rest of the air moving over it will glide on.. air moves faster on top of air therefore increasing your air velocity

how much for the reflective copper plenum - shipped to 33178? do you provide the plenum or would I have to send one to you? The Z is my DD so just worried about downtime and hitching a ride.
Also have a Nismo CAI - what sort of finish options do you have for that? I ask cause not sure if it can be powdercoated.

***meant to ask if you are able to provide a plenum?

Can your team provide Ceramic coatings to the Plenum & Intake kits, instead of just powder-coating? All for the sake of reducing intake temps... no matter how small of a margin it may be.

I'm actually not to far from south El Monte. Is it possible if I can get your business address? Maybe we can talk about price in person.
