....LOL I KNOW! I'm giving you **** because it makes no sense! how about 'pic' or 'pics' as in a PICture not a PIQture 
I'm trying to have a similar one cut but not pay through the **** for it. Any chance they'd do one like that but blank on top for a reasonable price?

I remember when my manifold was snow white like that. Matched my white car really well. Unfortunately, it didn't hold up cosmetically once I started tracking the car. A lot of the rough surface flaked off and it turned gray. Same thing with my turbine and O2 housings. The coating lasted great for over two years when I just drove the car on the street though.
Not sure what coating to try next. My downpipe was coated 5 years ago in Jet Hot's 2000 black. It still looks like the day I got it back. Of course, that coating isn't supposed to be as functional as Swain, but it does last well.

AHAA! LOL, but it made perfect sense when I typed it heh.

mchuang - Nope the I/C is no on the website yet...but its working very nicely on my car
I have 2 cores sitting here and I will be building up the production units next week and will do a official anouncemnet then. She is a big girl but with some creative endtanks that are a work of art (I must say) it all fits nice and tight. EVO8LTW - The Swain can degrade over the years as you have seen. It is possible to have it stripped, as it is only a external coating, and reapplied. We also offer a silver coating that holds up very well for those wanting to go a different route. But as you mentioned, its not as good at keeping heat inside like the Swain.
RPHAW1527 - I had my coater ( that does the silver coatings) powder coat my valve cover. It came out real close to my wheels, which is what I was after. Something a little different ya'know.
Thanks again everyone! I am really trying to bring some high quality products and services to the Evo world. Many of the products have been seen before but just trying to take things to another level. Our battery tray is a good example...many people make them...but dare I say not quite like ours IMHO.

great looking setup.how does the fp red compare to say a gt35r . i am looking at upgrading in the future and dont mind doing aftermarket header etc. just wondered what the benefits of the fp green and red are over the gt35r,37r,or 40r i have run a 40r on my sti and while it did ok on the 2.5 it seems like it would have too much lag on the 2.0 evo motor. thanks for your response

To answer some ?'s I think the Red is a better choice for many that hav a 35r. My opinion is most people never tap the power potential of a 35r. Many will never run mor than 28psi. For those why not use a Red or Green. Great turbos that really shine in that range.
My Green is sold sorry guys.
The good news is I am strapping her down tonight....the car on the dyno I mean
I am not expecting great numbers as this mustang reads much lower than others for some reason. My last tune gave me 361 & 370tq for the green on E85 at 26psi. This sounds low, but the car ran 11.10 @ 124.8...not too shabby.
