Hey guys, i've seen a few instances where people powdercoated their gen 3 intakes. I was thinking of doing the same thing, maybe in a flat red or a gloss black. Are there any potential problems with doing this? (i.e extra heat retention, etc). Is there anything that i should relay informationally to the powdercoater to take care while prepping the tubes for the paint? I'm assuming there's some extra precauting that needs to be taken with the MAF sensor area . . . Thanks in advance!
