South man Member 31 Member For: 11y 5m 4d Posted 11/09/15 02:25 AM Share Posted 11/09/15 02:25 AM Hey guys,Im just about to order a intercooler kit for the fg2 ute, and was tossing up between the black coated piping or the polished alloy piping, I love the look of the polished alloy but I'm thinking that it won't take long for it to start to look like sh*t and will require a lot of time and effort to keep it looking nice? Has anybody got experience with the polished stuff, say from like plazmaman? Same goes for the CAI turbo side intake I'm getting also, black or the polished version. Once again I do prefer the look of the polished stuff but I'm just worried about how it will start to deteriorate over time, I know alloy tends to go to sh*t in not much time at all if its not coated?Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91130-polished-intercooler-piping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome will take time to keep it looking new and if you have that time why not or put aside a whole day once a month for a complete clean. Remember you cant reach all the place unless you remove all the pipes.Once you go black you wont go back. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91130-polished-intercooler-piping/#findComment-1561226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polished that is. What size cooler are you looking at. You can get a jonny tig stepped cooler with no cutting required. Big and shinny. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91130-polished-intercooler-piping/#findComment-1561228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me I know but alot less then others. Sexy bit off kit for sure. But he makes a stepped cooler that is bigger than pw one and still no triming. Its so good on the street and I have never had any heat soak even smashing it playing with my mates r6 for 3hrs on a 34+ day. My mate can back me up on that one. Lets over take these cars and trucks. Hate mine still has the 230km limit.
