Quick little update:  
Just sold my invidia q300 and installed the comptech exhaust in its place. Love the sound of the comptech, the invidia was a bit loud running no cat

Also picked up a spare intake manifold from looksexys2000 last night and i’m dropping it off at CRC to get powdercoated wrinkle black. I’ll probably do the same powder with the aftercooler on the supercharger kit, and my coolant overflow bottle.

Valve cover i picked up off ebay came in and was junked. All the threads were clogged from the anodizing so i shipped that back. Think i might just hit the oem cover with some airplane stripper and wet sand it to polish it up and then powder coat it clear to seal the deal. Might do the blue chrome as well, i’m still on the fence. Gonna do the calipers red or thanslucent red with a chrome base.
