But at this point your intake air is Kompressed. I think it's a good start if you plan to port and polish the other components...
Will you offer a core exchange?

all airflow tubes/chambers/ect BEFORE injectors (whether it be water, fuel or nitrous) flow better with the smoothest surface possible. in the old days when cars had carburators the fuel was added to the air just after the filter and it that case yes i would agree we wouldnt need to go as smooth since there was an air/fuel mixture and we dont want the fuel to puddle on the sides. when we get cyl heads ported we get tiny spoon shaped divots put into the intake runners to cause a tumbling (in some cases a tiny reverse flow) which keeps the fuel from collecting.
yes it may be a bit overkill for the coating but when we learned that the companies we deal with have the capability to do so we said sure lets go for it. its sprayed and then baked onto the piece at Dart Cyl Heads. They do not have the writeup for this coating on their website yet but its closer to their skirt coating then the others they have listed.
if you found info to the contrary about smooth versus rough please link me as id love to check it out.

Real world example on smooth versus rough....on boats a smooth service will not hinder you until after 100 mph. Then you want a rough surface....basically if you wax a REAL fast boat it will slow it down....Granted I am talking about .05% of the boating public.
I have no idea what air does but thats what water does on as boat.

Interesting info regarding the 220 grit finish.

Re: Polished y-pipe with teflon coating
On boats we used to sand now we paint the last 8" to 14" or "running surface" with a black texture surface.
Best example I could give you is like a Rhino liner.
Maybe after certain speeds it goes the other way??
Oh by the way when is this part going to be available and for how much?

Re: Polished y-pipe with teflon coating
OUCH!!!! KINDA THOUGHT WE WOULD GET FIRST DIBBS GUESS NOT............ "if you have to ask why, your not ready for this part" hmm I think most people asked cause it seems useless and way over kill with no gain.

I didn't notice the core charge either at first...that's why I thought I'd ask.
I agree - $100 is reasonable if it helps.

Re: Polished y-pipe with teflon coating
Talked last night with needswings for Almost an hour he has a few more tricks up his sleeves in the works great guy cant wait till he spills all his secrets. I have a feeling we will sometime in the near future be able to be as heavily modded as the SRT-4
Re: Polished y-pipe with teflon coating
Good news!! I was very impressed with Rob's intake. From the packaging/instructions to the final product and performance gains. It even impressed my dad(which is hard to do!!) I will definitely be doing business with him again! I like his ideas and im glad he is doing the work for our cars.
