    Re: its been a while ... a few more polished parts

    ya guys .. Carotman i see your concern with my intake, im hoping to replace the tube sometime soon , i havent had the time or cash since robotics ( theres another thread on that) i think it would look sick if i had a polished pipe for my intake

    Im hoping to polish more parts soon

    Re: its been a while ... a few more polished parts

    love the polished parts dude! im thinking about going to my exhaust shop and having him bend me a one piece CAI. He offered when i went in for my exhaust and i just said no thanks. Maybe if i have him build me a couple i could sell the other one. It wouldnt be mandrel bent, but i think the power lost from that would be much less than the power lost using couplers on a 2 or 3 piece CAI

    I did that when I first got my motor swap and I have to say, the thing was incredibly heavy. That exhaust piping weighs a shitload more then what they use for shorts rams/CAIs.
