Yeah, I'll get around to it shortly. I'm waiting until I have enough time to rip off the y-pipe and do that also, since it's now exposed w/o the airpump.
Here's a question to anyone: Isn't polishing the part of the pipe that doesn't show equivalent to polishing the underside of the UIM or housing-facing side of the LIM?

I have so many things to do right now like swap exhausts back with Batmobile, install pads/rotors, & install Keith's diff brace. Damn, I'm getting tired just thinking about it all :P

It's running 2-1 in favor of polishing the whole pipe.

Rub rub rub!

Whoa, back from the dead....
Well, I guess i might as well give an update.
I ended up only polishing the top 1/4 of the intake pipe; reason being is that I usually scratch it 5-6 times just trying to snake it thru to the secondary turbo. I bought a spare & sent it out to get professionally done, but it looked way too good to get fubar'd by me so I ended up selling it
