Pics request: painted 99 01 cobra manifolds and engine bays

[Dimitri318]

Looks like I'm keeping my car and I wanna start dressing up the engine bay starting by painting the manifold. If anyone could post up pics of there engine bays I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking painting it black then painting the snake either blue or yellow. If anyone with a yellow car has pics that would be great.

I ceramic coated my upper intake and left alone the lower one, can't really see it.

Here is my friends 4V swapped Saleen with color matched intake.

Mine is powder coated black. Oddly enough, I don't have any pics of it yet. I'll get some when I go to the shop on Monday.

Those look good sir riccus that's almost exactly what I was looking for. If u don't mind me asking go much did u pay for the cobra intake to get painted and who did it?

 

[Dimitri318]

I also wanna get my upper and lower ported if anyone knows of a good place to maybe port and powdercoat the intake at the same time.

SirRiccus and I planned many things together....here is mine pretty much completely finished...everything PC'd flat black, and I mean EVERYTHING...even the coolant crossover...the only things that aren't are the alternator and belt tensioner

And lastly....what's powering it....

Why does it look like your friends saleen has 2 MAFs? A slot style and a stock one with a mafia?

He doesn't...he only has a slot style with a mafia hooked up to it

I don't know, unless you are mistaking the rubber coupling for a MAF down towards the Blow off valve. As Cobramac said, it's just a slot style with a MAFia. That set up has since been changed also. We got rid of the rubber elbow off the TB, and replaced it with a procharger aluminum elbow, and also moved the blow off into the fender to clean up the MAF signal, like we did on my car.

Here's my powdercoated black upper and lower 01' Cobra intake:

This is my old setup, new setup includes black-crinkle VC's and a bunch of other changes in the engine bay...

Here's mine. Valve covers, upper and lower intake have been powder coated black. The intake pipes were polished.

I'm digging everything powdered black after seeing it though.......

 

[SaleenSR]

I was wondering what color is the valve colors? mineral gray powder coating?

 

[Juiced46]

I was wondering what color is the valve colors? mineral gray powder coating?

The color is called Black Chrome

This is what mine looks like now. Powdered everything silver vane(sp)

 

[CobraMac]

I changed everything up from the flat black and now it's all wrinkle black

Oh and I painted the coil covers too now:

Anyone ever see a sonic blue car with the 01 style intake painted to match? I am going with polished intake pipes, SB powdercoated valve covers, polished coil covers with "TERMINATOR" engraved in them but I dont know what to do with the upper intake. I was thinking polished or blue. Let me know what you guys think.
