Question about the Superram intake
Does the Superram use the stock injector rails/fittings etc?

If you want an extra confirmation, I'll give it. Stock fuel rails fit on the superram as well as aftermarket longtube setups....except the FFI FIRST intake.

I received my Superram today. Looks better in person than it did in the photos. Now to decide how to finish it. Polish or powder coat or paint...

For long-term appearance, I recommend painting/powdercoating the base. Probably black to hide dirt, oil, etc...
Polishing lasts and lasts especially on something like the "pancake" where you have access to occasionally wipe with a polish like Mothers. (2-3 times a year at most).
If you have the patience, polishing the runners would look nice...though painting/powdercoating the same as the base works too.
I think an inlay of black paint in the ribs looks awesome too. (Or another coordinating color to the rest of the car).
Mostly what you see of the SR is the pancake.

Ive polished a number of Superram boxes and runners, I wouldnt do it again.
There is some neat stuff out today as far as powedercoat goes and rattle can stuff lasts much longer than it did yrs ago. So much easier to keep up
Those are good intakes, if you get bored there are large gains to be had if you have the time or $ to put into them.

Decades ago I had my SuperRam runners and base extrude honed. It really was a nice setup and increased top end power.

If it is already ported and polished on the inside no problem. If not, I'd have it ported and polished before spending money on the exterior. If you have nothing else and it is honed out you can spend time and money on the appliances.

Lately the patience thing has been in short supply. Although...polishing the runners might be relaxing. What type of paint works best? Does it need to be higher temperature paint? I have a friend that does power coating but haven't yet talked to him. Could the runners and box be dipped?
Thanks, Went

Porting is worthwhile as noted....especially if mods are present.
Polishing can definitely be a PITA...though the "box" wouldn't be so bad. I'd use electric sanders to get it to 300/600 grit, then polish. You won't need to worry about the bottom of the valleys of the lid. Fill those with paint and bake.

It depends on whether the op is a show or go type of person.
