Painted cans look great.......keeping with the classy, yet sporty without the ricer look....I wish I would have thought of doing it. 8k miles and I'm really enjoying the invidia. I may paint mine. Let know how the paint holds up. I'm glad you were able to derive some help for the make-shift install guide. Take a look at my old post for all those who want to see neked cans. In the end.....Who doesn't like a nice set of cans? Invidia = built for comfort and speed...... You motor boating SOB..

Thanks, so far the paint is doing great after going through a wash and rain, but only time will tell.

lmao

 

Going to paint my tanabes this weekend or next, same reason of less 'bling'.

 

yay!!!

 

I painted my FI last weekend with plastidip. So far it's holding up just fine.

I just couldn't stand the bling bling look from the back.

 

^^^^plasti dip isnt that gona melt on the exhaust???????????

 

Where did you get the #1 steel wool?

 

Sounds great OP. I'm not really feeling the painted look though but to each his own. I have the Fast Intentions exhaust and i am very pleased........

 

I only painted the cans. The cans don't get all that hot, plastidip I think can withstand up to 200 degrees of heat.

 

Lowes or Home Depot should have it.

Should be fine, I remember soundmike looking into can temps and I think he got around 150 F, so I think you'll be fine.

Thanks. The FI cans tuck in much better than the Invidia. If I had gone with FI, I wouldn't have painted them.

 

Yes sir!

I'm waiting for nice Texas summer heat to come, to do new readings

 

Drive by clips, did this forever ago, forgot to post it. Didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll do it again soon.

just a heads up for those interested in going the non-res tp route with invidias. it's a bit raspy, and there's quite a bit of drone at 2,000 revs. the culprit = the x pipe. it needs to be welded onto some hangers (in the process of finding someone to weld those suckers). the drone shakes the entire car unfortunately a little disappointed, but it was a bit expected with non-res test pipes. will be going with art pipes soon, or a different resonated setup.

 

it sure will get louder. i actually miss the way it sounded before it broke in. i even took it to the shop to have them check for leaks because it got noticeably louder. lol

 

I've heard it get a little quieter and i've heard it gets louder after break in. I guess i'll find out soon enough.
