No insurance on your parts?

I had all of the intercooler/charge piping powdercoated and for all 8 pipes, it cost me $150. I pick those up tomorrow from the shop so I don't have pics yet - but I will send you some when I do.
The manifold & downpipe were ceramic coated and cost $100 for both together. Manifold is pictured above - I pick up the downpipe tomorrow as well.

swaintech.com is the absolute BEST company out there for any type of automotive coatings. My and my bro's underhood temps went back to cooler than stock.
Their white lightning coating is rated 3000degrees.
You do not want to powdercoat aluminum IC piping. it'll retain heat. If its steel, then do it bc you dont want steel rusting on you. For aluminum, you want to anodize it. swaintech does this too.

Picked my charge pipes up from the powder coaters today. They're all wrapped up, so I only unwrapped one for a pic.
Downpipe is on the left [ceramic coated] and one of the charge pipes is on the right. The powder coat is called "reflective chrome" and boy does it dress it up.
