The top part of the alloy intake , the one on top of the engine .

I was thinking about painting it or having it chromed ?

I know it gets hot but i not sure if auto paint would handle the temps.

I try the local paint supplyer were ive bought paint from in the past he should have some tech sheets showing the temp limits for paint .

aaaaaaaah the plenum!

 

 

yeah you can get it chromed, seen a few pics on the US sites, looks bling!

 

BUT I strongly recommend you looking into upgrading... sicne you take it off and pay money to get painted... might as well go the whole hog and buy a better plenum! it's a well worth mod in my opinion! :thumbs:

Others include

Kinetix SSV - ask Stephen G (metal shiny too!)

APS plenum - recommended for APS TT setups (metal)

Crawford - need a new strut bar (metal)

 

All will give better breathing than stock which is known to restrict fuel/air flow for certain cylinders

Thanks for the info

I think ill upgrade it , i like the Kinetix ones as i wont to keep the strut bar.

 

 

Pos in wroung topic area but Mongoose ltd have been using my car as a design mule , they have already made and will now be selling a car back exhaust system if any body interested ( the work manship is A+)

Ive asked them regarding the club and the owner has said that he will offer discount or free fitting if your not too far away from the place.

Bigger discounst would be offered for a group buy .

The cars going back to them in about 8 weeks time and they are designing new headers and sport flow cats plus a new upgrade chip for it .
