She is about done...

Well I just installed the SFR ic pipes and I really cant decide if I should pull them off and have them powder coated to match the rest of the engine. What do you think?

I'm sure the pipes would have been less if you ordered them powder coated instead of polished. A little bling is OK, polish the manifold and complete the look.

Wow they look awesome. I don't think powder coating would make it any better.

Hmmm....

That does look really nice. I do agree the visual balance is "off" a bit, and that polishing the manifold would balance it again. You have to balance that with the fact that polished alloy is a more constant maintenance item than powder coat.

I think I'd powder coat, but I'm lazy.
