We ship same day unless it is late in the afternoon. You would be 3-4 business days out if it's going to Texas.

I got my car back from the collision center yesterday, my car seems like it pulls harder with this IC. It is hard for me to tell though since I haven't been able to drive my car a whole lot in the past 3 months. Now if I can just find time to install my catless dp.

Anodizing is not paint. It's basically the oxidation of the aluminum by an acid. It leaves a porous surface that can be died. There is more than one type of anodizing, but this is the basic idea behind it.

Actually it is the oxidation of a metal dissolved in an acid solution. The oxidized metal (zinc, cobalt, manganese, etc) particles become positively charged ions and are attracted to the negatively charged anode (in this case a chunk of aluminum) where they form an oxide coating.

Just what I said. I was talking about the intercoolers, hence why I said that it was the oxidation of the aluminum. I should have added ''in this case'' to my sentence. Other commonly anodized metals are magnesium and titanium. If you want to be a purist and correct what I said, you should know that the anodizing of zinc is not a true anodizing, as it does not produce 100% oxides.
WTF is a 100% oxide? Metals have different oxidation numbers if that is what you mean.

I don't like to derail threads, but since you started it, I will continue.
In anodizing you don't have any other metals being used. In the case of aluminum anodizing, the aluminum part is the anode in the electrolysis bath. The electrolysis bath is the cathode, and is an acid. The type of acid is determined by the type of anodizing you are doing. The anodizing reaction produce a layer of aluminum hydroxide (what I called an oxide, because it's the result of an oxidation reaction) on the aluminum part. No other metal is added to the process, that would be called a plating. You are clearly confusing plating vs anodizing if you think anodizing is the deposition of aluminum on another alloy. And a 100% oxide means the anodizing will produce only aluminum hydroxide. In your previous post you stated that zinc could be anodized, which is not 100% true. You can plate zinc on some other metal, but if you anodize it (alone as an anode in an acid bath), the reaction will produce oxides, but also phosphates and chromates on the surface of the zinc part.
You should get some real world knowledge before arguing, not only some google knowledge. I deal with platings, anodizing and many other surface treatments on a daily basis, and I have to choose and give out specs for all that stuff for my suppliers everyday for the products I design. I am not trying to be harsh btw, just trying to educate some peoples on here. Now if we were arguing lnf tuning, I know you could teach me a thing or 10, but for most subjects related to mechanical engineering, thats different.

My stupid brain is always processing a million things at once some I somtimes get concepts confused with one another. Anyway back to the topic at hand.
