Red Pipes?
Black Pipes?
i'm n/a and dont have IC pipes 
Color Matchin IC pipes or nay?
my IC pipes came to me grey (yuck) so I painted them red and after doing a ****ty job i re-did them in black. I was going for an ALL black underhood image (my TB is black, i painted all my brackets black, EGR black, etc...) But noticing most the cars in the mags have colored pipes im wondering if I should change....
I like my black pipes but they need to be redone with a higher grit sand paper. But, would red pipes look better?

Im not sure how some get that "crinkled" powerdcoat finish but that would look sick in red.
polished/chrome or black
color matching looks gay
hmm? i've never heard or seen that...Originally Posted by Nemesis
~o yea...that camera i got, 240bucks to fix it. not bad. had some sort of short in the circuit board~

I'm with Nemesis, crinkle red finish would be hot. You can buy it just about anywhere in a spray can. Anything would look better than mine. Some of it's GReddy factory black, some of it's bare mandrel bent pipe.
X2... Badass... Crinkle black would be good too..
polish hell no. chrome is VERY nice but VERY expensive.
~ANYONE HAVE PICS IF CRINKLE FINISH??~

this is a piece from a perrin performance kit, but it gets the point across
edit, they have red as well, but it's a little lighter colored.

red! no question about it. my buddy down here did his WRX's pipes kinda funny.... for the cold side he had little snowflakes and ice cubes painted on, and on the hot side he had flames done the whole way down... it looks pretty cool. but if you do PC i would definately go with crinkle red (it looks like OEM ITR VC's)
Lolol.hmmm kinda like the STi...i like....hmmm

Crinkle red is like on STI intake manifolds. A lot of afermarket subaru intakes and ICs are offered in crinkle red so that everything under the hood matches. Personally I like the black pipes but colored pipes do attract more attention if you're looking for a hot car or mag worthy car.

Black is just kinda "plain" ya know. Idk about some bright red but something different then the same ole same ole.
same ol same ol is usually chrome. but that also looks the nicest. i really like the crinkled look but it might clash with the rest of the red on my beater

Black pipes look fine, but if you got a red to match your paint... that would be tEh sEx.
Polish
Or do a Zebra Finish or composition notebook finish with silver and black!
That'll be some new shhhhhh.

I'm talking to Garrett about turbo application. Hot side is already made.
Stick with black or go to textured black.. color matching is so lame
do PC black. color matching is gay as ****. LOL @ the "all the cars in the mags" statement.
the zebra/notebook thing sounds cool too. do it in black/red tho maybe?

^how in the world would i be able to pull that off? seems like a lotta effort. I'm trying to picture it in my mind but, all i can think of is HP's notebook design.

well, you would have to do it in 2 layers. paint them gloss red first, then put something on them for whatever pattern you want and spray black. it wouldnt be too hard if you could find some stickers or something with that pattern.

I like chrome personally. But if I have to pick a color, it would be blue...
Do the red
Since your engine will but pulled out soon, Colormatch the block and head.
