Well, I was replacing the AIT and took the intake elbow off in the process. I tried cleaning it before without much luck and was getting tired of looking at how dirty it was looking so I decided to do something about it. I went to an autoparts store and found some engine paints. I purchased Dupli-color's Metalcast paint in the colour of Ground Coat - it matches the stock look almost perfectly. You can spray it on very thinly and get great results and the paint sets very fast for easy multiple coats. All I did was mask off the ends of the pipe and it looks brand new. Just thought I'd share this idea with the rest of you

Most 94's and the rest came in black.

yeah if you want it to be polished, but I was going for the stock look until I get a new elbow...

You know, you can also repaint the UIM, Throttle Body and other parts (if you don't want to polish them). I did.

I just like the black on red look. When I quit being lazy, I'm going to paint the strut bar ends to something other than blue.

What can I say, I love my cat...
