Black Anodized ER Chargepipes!

Oh YEA! I got these new babies today and man do they look SWEET!

Evolution Racewerks you guys rock! I know it took you some time and effort to get the hard black anodizing just right, but thanks for persisting! They are beautiful. Deep wet black look is sick!!

As an engineer (and somewhat of a perfectionist) I am very happy to have these in my engine bay!

Thanks Ben r33_RGSport for dealing with my inpatients and hooking me up with a great combo deal!

The N20 ones took them a while to get right, because the bend nearest the throttle body is cast and not mandrel bent. The first couple times they tried to anodize the pipes the end bend came back with a poor result. Through quite a bit of effort they finally got it right.

Love that they wont let things go out without being to their high standards. Took months to get, but was worth the wait.

Ya ER is definitely a group of perfectionists. Unfortunately the anodizing is not something done in house as its sent out to a third party.

A majority of the wait is the anodizing, 2-3 weeks by a 3rd party. Otherwise most of us stock popular configurations.

When ordering an anodized part, make sure that the vendor you pick has it in stock otherwise you are looking at 2-3 weeks wait.

You should use Cerakote. I'm a certified applicator
Google Cerakote if you are unsure what it actually is.... Phenomenal product

Gun coating a car part? Unless the ER pipe is actually doubles as a missile launcher
