Bought this Injen hot side pipe used off of a member here. He had them color matched Victory Red but I always envisioned having my hot side pipe flat black so as to appear as OEM as possible. I decided to strip them, remove the "Injen" emblem and purchased the MPx upgrade kit for it. I sprayed them with high heat charcoal grill paint. I think they turned out pretty nice.













Spring needs to get here like... NOW...

 

Well that's something different, looks pretty good. I have an Injen pipe myself. Was it hard stripping the red paint off?

 

I like that A lot, almost looks factory which is how I like all my modifications to be done.

 

lol looks like the zzp upper pipe but with no mount like theres lol

 

i like it! i did my Injen intake and IC pipes Wrinkle black

 

ZZP style ish?

 

Thanks! It wasn't hard at all. I used this stuff I found at Walmart...

Here's the paint I used... http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rust-Oleum...-Heat/19399698

WORKS LIKE A CHARM! Couldn't believe how easy it was. It is pretty messy though and you may need a utility brush to get paint from certain spots but definitely worth it.

In the installed pictures, they look shiny but in person, they are totally muted. I love it.

 

Yea, I figured the camera flash made them look a little shiny as opposed to how they really look. I may do this to my mine as well, just maybe a different color. I'm getting bored with the glittery black that Injen painted it with haha.

 

I hear ya. I really didn't want them to be "flashy". A flat grey would look pretty decent too.

 

not at all... an my buddy's boxer bumped me while i was movin em while theywere still dryin( took like 8-10 hours) so theres a couple marks... doesnt look bad tho.. looks....vintage Ima snap a pic tomorrow, my engine bay(car) is dirty as **** atm 2

 

To plain and boring looking

 

A vintage LNF IC pipe, that's a first! Post up that pic when you get a chance boss.

 

I like it, it looks better than red

 

Thanks. That means I did it just right. :

 

i like it.

 

You should spray paint that floor a different color.

 

Haha! We rent this place otherwise that woulda been the first thing to go!

 

yea btw dont think thats safe to be doing inside but whatevers lol

 

looks good man nice job!

 

that's awesome.

 

Good work.

 

verrrryyyy shitty picture from summertime ima go snap one, this makes it look burnt up lol


i did mine in my barracks room w/ my dude + bottle of crown >.< the hangover was horrrrible the next day

 

^that looks ROUGH!

The wrinkle coating on the ZZP is what sold me, along with how it runs along the engine's shape and not across, I dislike the Injen for that very reason. I'll take the small volume loss due to the increased length of piping for aesthetics sake.

Good work to the OP though!

 

It was 20F outside so I did it inside with ventilation. Whole house smelled like paint for a day though. It was... Hypnotic....

 

Thanks everyone!
