A little too shiny for my taste, but well done, enjoy! How much of an HP gain did you get with the port job?

So where did you pick up this piece from?... I have been looking at porting and polishing also, but every place I find wants me to send the part to them rather than doing a core exchange...don't want the car to be down forever... looks good - let me know if you feel any difference

The stock intake mani is already efficient, so if anything like 1-3, but the main point of the ceramic coating si to keep the heat out of it. I HAVE noticed a IAT difference and a slightly faster spool time!

The 'shiney' comes from the ceramic coating. Its made to keep the ambient heat out. I.e. cooler IATs. I do notice about a usual 5-10 degree drop

Its a stock intake manifold. I member on here had a spare one sitting around so he let me borrow it so I could get it ceramic coated/ported and then give him my stock one in return.

very slight difference if any. I didn't go crazy for it. i went for a balance of form and function!
