I haven't installed the headers yet. I just jumped on them because of the price haha. I thought they were real nice quality for the price. Hoping to get them installed soon but all my money is tied up on another project

Can't wait to hear your impressions on them! Be sure to post something up! What did you end up doing about the extensions? Are you doing extensions or cats?

does anyone know if the LFX intake manifold and the LLT intake manifold are directly swappable?

lscamaro · 04-09-2013, 12:22 PM

So wanted to get someone else's opinion in on this. Im contemplating on painting my Intake manifold and was wondering what you guys thought of painting the Manifold its self with a Titanium Silver Color followed by a Clear Gloss and then spraying the throttle body and Plenum Cover with a Black Night (Sort of a metallic black) or maybe just in normal black again followed by a Clear Gloss. All will be done in a high heat engine Enamel so it should last a while.

Here is what my current engine bay looks like.

I think it will look really good!

Have you thought of spraying the IM yellow though? I see you have a yellow and black theme going and yellow would look really good! I forget where I saw a picture of a yellow IM but it looked insane!

Sleez · 04-09-2013, 05:47 PM

i think it would look great, don't think i would go yellow on the IM, too much yellow i think.

maybe paint the oil filter cap the same???

and polish the plenum cover while you are at it???

I have thought about it but i think it might be too much yellow if you know what i mean

And i also think it would be difficult to find a yellow that is high heat and that matches pretty good in stores

Did you ever have any issues with the paint fading or changing colors on yours?
