How did you "unbling" your SMIM? Not to steal your idea but I would really like to avoid the bling factor under the hood in my car as well (all components are black) and this would greatly help as I too have a Magnus SMIM, not a Drag manifold mind you!

 

[jjrock5]

great progress

It was anodized.

Great Progress, cant wait to see the it finished!

 

[DSMReviver]

Why anodized? is it reduce heat or just looks?

I only did it for looks.

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

Wow! Looks great! I agree, might want to trim the exhaust a little, .

 

[Kauai Guy]

Wow, that looks awesome!

Nice work. Just curious why you put carpet and all in the rear? Is it just to "hide" what's there or just personal preference? Reason I ask is most people running fuel cells do it for weight reduction on a track car, so the added weight is not what's wanted.

Just for looks, nothing to hide.

The car is mainly a track car and has some decent weight reduction, but I'll give up the few pounds the carpet adds just to get a cleaner look in the back.

Yes it look good track car, go for it.

Where did you get it anodized I have been looking for a place that does it.

 

[mat305]

Looks good but a Fram filter? Really!?

I'll grab you the name.

Haha, it's taken me to mid 10's with no issues

It's a DSM, not an exotic

 

[Doubleot]

Can't wait to see this in person, Maybe bend my body in a few odd ways to sit in it again
