Default Powder Coated Intake by Ben G For Sale

Ben G from Austin is outta the Powder Coating business now as it was taking too much time away from his family, as anyone who's seen his work in person, it is impeccable. He's got this last one set for sale and this is the message he sent me. I'm helping him in trying to sell the last pieces he has as he's done so much for me in the past.

He's asking $550 for the set. Read below.

These parts are finished in 'Feather Bronze' correct match with a 60% gloss topcoat. Intake comes with side plenum gaskets, flappy bearings and flappy bearing rubber cap. (flappy bearings not installed so client can wash the intake first) Also included are the stainless steel intake bolts. Basically everything shown in the pictures. Intake lettering is all in black and embedded under the clear.

$550 for the set.

I also have a set of S3 cam covers finished in a charcoal texture. complete with black accent lettering, 100% gloss clearcoat. They're very nice, but not perfect. A few off-gassing blems etc. But, very good, very presentable parts. One of the spark plug wire retaining clip locations on each cam cover has a broken bolt it in it. Doesn't affect the performance of the cam covers, just the ability to bolt the clip into it. I'd like to get $100 for the set. Pretty much just giving them away to move them out of my garage. clearing out inventory and misc. stuff.

The water bridge in the picture is actually installed on my car ... absolutely beautiful.

$550 is a screaming deal for a manifold this well done, someone should grab it before I lose my mind and take it!

Wow. Beautiful. Great snag Roger.
Hope the inside is cleaned really well.
Just kidding, of course.

I have a set on my GTS - see pictures - and this set is for my Diamond Blue 87.

Ben's work is just perfect and I for one am sorry that he has stopped doing them.

Nothing for sale here - move along 8>)

Some of those bolts look a little grimy. You should give the intakes to me and buy something nicer.
