I was just wondering because I was thinking about polishing my IM, but think that it would look off, if the charge pipe isn't polished as well. I guess we'll see when tony's done with his and posts pics.

I think the charge pipe is just coated with something.

Default It's not made of aluminum which is also why I opted to change mine..

The stock one gets pretty hot like the rest of the engine bay. Mine is pretty cold to the touch after a few minutes of shut off. The IM remains pretty cold even when running and I don't have spacers even.
