Ordering Intake: Which Finish?

[Scott_95GT]

I'm going to be ordering a Trick Flow Street w/a elbow to go in with my ported e7's (Xmas Summit Gift Cards ). Question: Any downfalls to running an unfinished manifold? I like the look of the plain, silver cast over the silver or black paint. I don't want it to be hard to clean or get staind or anything. I don't know much in this department.

Any advise?

Anyone have TFS engine bay pics with the cast intake?

I don't see any downfalls with the plain finish. I don't have a hard time keeping my Cobra intake clean or anything. Don't the painted ones cost more anyway? Just save the money IMHO.

yea i dont think it matters, they all work the same. i went with black upper and elbow, cuz i thought it looked good. just go with what u like i dont think one will be harder to clean than the other.
