Couldn't have said it better myself Cheers commotion yes i was reffering to surface finish most stainless sched i have seen usually has that dull grey cast look.


Holden 4 life i'd be more than happy to help you make some manifolds. I'm a bit more local than boost obsession though he has a bit more practice making v6 manifolds than me :p

pm me and we shall organise something :)
