tpi..
ok so while i have some time before the tpi is going on my car...what are my options for making the plenum, runners, and intake looking better? I have seen some polished but im sure that costs an arm, leg and maybe half a torso...I have also heard of power coating it? but that makes the air hotter and ruins performance..

does anyone have any input/ideas/people/shops that do any of this work? thanks

You can polish them yourself, and I don't see how powder coating will raise the intake temps.

Polishing is easy, and can be done REAL cheap at your house. I put a nice polish on my TPI stuff pretty easy, a few hrs sanding and a few hrs polishing. While mine isnt mirror finish, Its pretty enough to get by.
