And we cut a diamond to fill up the last of the bit of sheet so we figured why not...

Hot!

That looks real nice .

 

[Red97Eclipseboy]

Very nice!

 

[XSNRGGST]

Looks good, now get it on the car!

 

[Smoke777x]

Looks pretty cool, what kind of paint did you guys use for the airbrush? Also did you clear coat it afterwords?

 

[liquidnote]

got to love that ghost look! Great job

 

[Defiant]

Oh, you mean "flair", like in Office Space.

I thought you'd used the smoke off a flare or something.

 

[unlmtdndeavor]

not to be the one hater, but now it looks plastic-y and cheap.

Agreed so you're not the only one. Seems like a whole lot of work for a stock intake manifold with "flair." That Mitsu star makes baby Jesus cry, a lot.

We just used some silver paint leftover from painting a car. Nope no top coat. Just gonna see how things go.

Yeah I thought something with my wording looked out of place.

All the parts and paint and such were just laying around and I'm waiting on a few parts for my awd swap so its not like my car is down waiting for it. My friend wanted to practice airbrushing and I wanted a manifold that looked different than standard aluminum.

It looks like an axle boot exploded on your manifold or something. Yucky.

Thats like a dead on description.

I see what your dyno results are. Is that completely stock? I would think that you would be able to produce more than 162 WHP, expecially with the mods you have.

What's the deal?

Me like. Now on to the valve cover, BOV, and IC pipes.

And left MITSUBISHI logos everywhere .

Wow...the internet is surely full of haters. I think it looks good. You've got to go with what you like, and not what some dweebs on the internet say.

I dunno, I think that it looks okay. You need to clean up those gasket mating surfaces though

I would have preferred a colour other than black, but I like it.

They're real old numbers from when I had a T25, no fpr, bad O2 sensor, and a slipping auto trans. On my way to awd 5spd though so all will be well.

I'm getting there. I had planned to make it to the machine shop this weekend but another DSM took my interest for my Thanksgiving break.

He asked for opinions and he is getting them.
