DIY: if you don't have AEM or name brand intake..try this some day.

Ok, I had this in my mind for a while now,
I have APC short-ram I got from my friend that sounds damn nice.(me no ricer)
and found out what the difference between AEM and mine were.

AEM: Heat threated, coated, perfect fit-ment, K&N filter head
APC: coat w/o heat-threated, not a perfect fit-ment, blah filter?

I think it was mrmyz or UltraMeg said AEM is heat threated so the piping doesn't get hot.
so, I figured, why not make mine heat-threated and suck in more colder air.
and i did it over a long time.

first, I washed the pipe twice, first with mild soap and scrub any where i can, then washed off with water.

and then I went a head and took the clear-coat stuff off with Steel Wool

after scuffing the whole pipe out-side, I washed it agian with soap for painting process.

The sprays I used. (the spray on the right is the same stuff I used on my badge )


make sure the pipe is completely dried before spraying the primer.


that's two layer's of primer. I loved the look of it just primed, but it had to be heat threated.

and then the heat-threatment stuff





and yeah, I got bored with my strut bar box



well, this took me 4 hours from washing to final spray. I'll have to wait for a day or two to let it dry complete, and then I'll post up the reasults how it really works

yeah..not really a DIY, but I thought I'd post it b/c no one done it yet on SHO.

well, it's different from a intake pipe, the air getting sucked in is cool, but air being pushed out is hot as hell.
if u didn't scuff up your 4-to-1 headers and stroker, u might notice a peel later on.
well, any ways, i need my damn K&N filter head soon
