testing intakes

scale · 11-24-2002, 07:57 PM

I bought a stock intake off ebay. It is very very clean and looks great. I want to have it powder coated candy blue to go with my blue hoses, motorsport wires, and polished chrome upper intake.

My question is how can i be sure the intake is solid?? (no cracks, warpage, etc) before i send it in and have all the powdercoating done? Is there a good place that will do this to insure that this is a good intake before i proceed with the powder coating?

IF ITS CRACKED ITS MOST LIKELY BY WHERE THE BOLTS GO THROUGH THE UPPER INTAKE AND MOUNT IT TO THE LOWER. JUST LOOK AROUND AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY CRACKS.

what are the chances this thing might be warped? I know you cant see that with the naked eye. It does look very very clean and newer but you never know.
