Installed the Stillen G3 intake...couple of questions..

The aluminum is fairly thin so you should be wary of removing too much material when polishing out the scratches. You might want to consider painting or powder coating them.

You could always wrap them & get some heat shielding benefits from it as well. Sweet score for free though.

if I am not mistaken you can flip those tubes around and put the scratches on the bottom of the other side so they cant been seen. if that is not possible the only other solution is what has been said here and that is to powdercoat them or wrap them.
