I had polished out my intake but, since it's not all that unique anymore, I ended up bead blasting it & clear coating it (not buffed out yet). Other than that & removing all wiring from sight there isn't much more to it from the norm. I guess but,, it's clean

I got those from JEGs but, I don't think they carry them anymore. They were like some no-namers they sent because they were out of the Moroso die cast alum ones. The ones I have on there now came w/nothing but the screws to hold them down. The grommets are autozone & the oil cap is a billet screw in for a Honda.

I just like how they are no names. No brand names, just lines a shine. I don't care for some name of a company that I could careless for, or jegs or summit in which I advertise for them. Those look good though

Thanks Lon. I was sort of disappointed they didn't have the Morosos but, after I got these, I was kind of happy that they were out of stock. I was able to find the shipping order, the p/n for the covers is 938WA6037. Like I said though, I don't think JEGs has them anymore, I haven't seen them in the catalog since I ordered them about a year ago. You might be able to call JEGs though & they may be able to find out who made them from that p/n.

Thanks. Might have to try that... also... umm.. name is ions

I really ought to make it just lower case from now on. No one ever spells it right

The auto parts place I work for, has a few like those. I get a 20% discount through them. I'll probably call jegs sometime in the near future though. I just like how those have the fin look but not raised. Very clean without some companys name all over it. Personal opinion of course.

Actually bud,, the name thing is 100% my mistake, sorry. I screwed you up with lonsal,, everyone calls him Ion and apparently everyone (including me) does the opposite to you,, I apologize,, I mixed the 2 names up.

Man i swear TPI has to be about THE coolest looking EFI setup ever. The only other thing that can compare is maybe webers.

Here's one more of the turd burgerlar



The only thing I really don't like is, the engine compartment still looks cluttered even w/o the wiring showing. Maybe I'm being just a little to picky/detail oreinted but, it bugs the **** out of me that I can't get it any 'cleaner looking (granted I'm not done moving all the hoses & a few odds & ends just yet).

I do have to agree w/HrdRock tho,, TPI is one of the most unique/coolest looking f.i. setups there are.
