I would like to do the IM too but I dont really want to take it off anytime soon
You can always jsut do the plenium to match, save you the effort of taking it off. Plus do the valve cover with a gasket change

Did i mention sanding??

The only problem is now your committed to polishing everything else in the engine bay and then it becomes to showing and a pita to keep clean. And if you dont, it would just look weird having a polished charge pipe and dull everything else

Your a nut job you know that. You just had the valve cover off 2 times and you could of painted it then and now your removing it a 3rd time. I just used some crinkle paint and it cost me all of $6 for then can and i still have enough to do my intake man when i get around to it. Best part about crinkly paint, you dont have to sand it smooth first, just give the paint something to hold on to

Hose with clamp is far cheaper and much easier to deal with than a an fitting.
