For industry comparison, I think what Whipple does in their color options for $600 is more reasonable.

No one is bashing the product, its a good product without question, the increased price tag for Pc is what kind of irks me that is all.

Ceramic coating is actually functional to dissipate heat, and it is more durable. PC is just for looks and twice as heavy, hold heat in!

? I know that ceramic coating headers/exhaust components is often done (my last z had the FI lths coated) for performance but my understanding is that the ceramic coating keeps the heat in the pipes. Wouldn't you want the opposite effect for the intake piping-keep heat out?

Also wouldn't the air be traveling so fast as to make insulating the intake piping unnecessary?

Doesn't work that way I guess. Like header wrap on the intakes doesn't help much, that gold foil though... That helps

Dang, people. Let the market decide. If it is overpriced it won't sell. Price will drop. That is how thw system works. There are some bitter people around here.

there are diferent types of coatings for different aplications, ceramic thermal dispersant coantings increase the surface area of the coated part to help it release heat.

IBTL

I like the sound from my Stillen exhaust too

KratikosG37 11-06-2014 07:57 AM

To each is own imo. Personally I come from S/C and TT experince.

They both have great sound, and looks. For the ones that want a DIY S/C maybe your speed. For rawr performance, Turbo will always be the better option for VQ35DE, and VQ37VHR.

The kit looks clean in black keep up the great work. Love seeing my options of FI grow.
