They symmetrical side of my brain is like WHY IS THERE NOT 2?!!?? Somethings missing!!






I wonder how it would look with red couplers to tie in the nismo engine cover more... perhaps painting in black might better suit your engine bay?? Aesthetics wise...??
I know, sometimes, I want a second one... but with this size turbo... I wouldn't see max boost until like 5000-6000rpm..

I like having the flash of color, and when I take the kit out this winter to have all the hotside pipes ceramic coated(or it goes back to FL(whichever comes first)) I was going to have the piping not coated anodized black

so it would be that black metallic color, and then the red..

When does it hit max boost right now?

It's a nice bit of color, but by itself it just seems like "I just threw some red in there"

Anodized hmm??? Better always work on it with gloves on then, first firing after its coated will burn in any prints right?

The black piping will look sick though. That's what I want. Just can't decide on matte or gloss black when I get my intakes.

I hit max boost right around 3800~4000(which is actually nice for just driving around town)
well, I was thinking of tying it all together with the titanium hardware kit.. you can get it in all kinds of colors and it's only like 150$

I would say gloss since it fits with the rest of your car.. you don't have anything matte right?

I do wanna get one of those myself! But the forum vendor that had them here disappeared...

Ahh, okay, that should be interesting then... Costly??

Not yet, but figured it might help tone down the bay with everything else being glossy... Is there a such thing as "too much" gloss??
