So, I painted it with some blue high temp paint... not sure if it will stay that way or not though...

The ceramic coating is really ugly (off white... really dirty looking) So I painted it... might just paint it a darker color, but IDK. The heat shield is painted with wheel coating. ;-)

So you did have to have made in three parts, hey?

Well, yes and no... I got it to be 1 piece but it put a lot of strain on the middle of the first bend... so much that it bent the tube a little... But the reason its in 3 chunks is because I am hoping to use them in turbo pipe... if KRC ever gets back to me on a flash...

cool not bad, did you get it off ebay? looks similar to the one i got but mine is chrome and blue, i made my own heat shield as well, i posted mine on here a week ago or so....

nope, I made mine with some 3 inch aluminum, some red silicone couplers and some red silicone hose... I had mine ceramic coated.

Plus I wanted to bend my own. I also got a K&N universal that has the same dimensions as the one that comes off the FIPKs...
