Don't really know yet. Maybe Black, or Black with a krinkle finish, or an Orange to match the Lamans Sunset paint. I need to see what colors are availble. If I do black I'm going to do the Plenum in black and maybe get some polished Pi-thon couplers.

I wonder if there's a way to powercoat the pipes with something that will help insulate the intake from heat and keep the AIT's down....so you get some function with the form of nice looking pipes...

He means the pipes that feed the air from the Vortech blower to the intercooler and then all the way to the throttle body...

I'll ask the powdercoater about that. I think someone on this forum did that one.
