Looks functional but a little too shiny. Paint it black and you'll be good imo.

I think a satin black would look best.

While IDK where the evap solenoid is in that pic, I can say I agree w/. painting em black. Powdercoat? But paint would prolly prove to be cheaper.

I don't think even rockin the aluminum look would be bad. Long as the bends are gradual, & & don't have kinks. Cause if they're are kinks, just from a visual standpoint, a detail-oriented person's eyes will see that.Just my .02. Very nice work tho.

ya, there are no kinks in the lines. I used a tubing bender, which is a PIA... I doubt i will paint them, just cause if they get scratched, which they will, it will look like poo... The lines are coated with something clear, so they are not really shiny, just kinda dull.... I dunno, i may rock it as it is now and take it off later if it gets on my nerves...

I'd just run rubber hose, I think it looks more factory and less flashy.

Will be interested to see your results with the new intake. Gonna post up some pre/post logs?

i can post up some before and after logs... But they may not mean much cause i am gonna switch to a richer stioch to see how it does... Currently i am running the factory 14.68, and I am gonna switch to 14.4ish... And I am switching to 31# injectors, currently i am running LS1 28#ers... So that will change a few things, but still should be useful


Also, no engine covers for me, if anything i would run corvette coil covers, but i have never liked the look of the 3 piece covers for trucks...

I like it, it looks like some scientific apparatus.

What looks cheesy are your pictures. I will pry the lens out of your phone camera, so that you have to use a real camera, if you want.
