The Herrod ones look awesome but IMO are way too overpriced.

Any exhaust shop will be able to knock one up for bugger all.

[BFD83]

They did a great job man!! it looks awwsome!

[5L]

peuty if you can get them made up for a decent price, im sure there would be a few people that want one.

[Peuty]

I'll see what I can do mate.

[MRS_XR8]

Bling would be nice, but in the mean time try a little magic, on that intake pipe where you have the grey mottled / old look try this.

Take an old soft / small brush and with some rubber / vynal shine or some tyre shine carfully paint / coat the pipe, let it soak a little and better to apply a few thinner coats rather than one big one.

After you have applied a few coats grab a clean old cloth and wipe any excess from the piping / dryinf it of. You should end up with a very smick black looking intake that will compliment the engine bay. the cover has come up well.

Cheers

Being a detailer i have done it a number of times and cant be bothered with it anymore and need bling lol thanks brendan.

Regards woody

The Herrod ones do look good but they dont do them anymore and even if they did youd be looking at a fair price for them - bit rich when its just a pipe with a logo on it.

[WoodysXR6]

Is their prof that they gain in performance over standard intake?

Also the plan but simple style without labeling would be better to look at also lol IMO.

[b2tf]

not really. theyre essentially just bling.

[WoodysXR6]

LOL WILD

[Mechan1k]

I am pretty sure my mechanic has a few on the intake pipes made up for the V8s.
He had them powdercoated in a satin metallic silver finish ... looks pretty nice actually.

[Mont5.0]

Can you see how much he wants for one simon.
