Hardcore!
I'd love a set of these powder coated in satin black for my M3.

I understand the artistry making up the charge pipes, but you can't compare the two. I also prefer the OEM/Factory look hence why I'd powder coated or maybe polish for a more uniform color.

Thanks for heads up and concern. I viewed that link. What brand were those? They look horrific by comparison. Not even close to the quality of mine. Here is a pic of the tunnel. You can clearly see where a wire brush has been ran down all the chambers to assure no splatter.

Please post pics once you have them ceramic coated. Would love to see the outcome.

So I had the ceramic pro coating done and installed them today. The fitment is 100% spot on. I have installed a good amount of charge pipes from many sources and none have been at this level of fitment and attention to detail. As far as attention to detail goes, they beautifully manufactured a new grommet ball that attaches to top of valve cover for the decorative M power cover. The stock one would be too low to clear charge pipes. It in itself is very nice machine work. I included pics of this mount also. The two bolts that secure the charge pipes to turbo outlet went in with no effort with my fingers. They were lined up perfect. The hose clamps are German OE claps so there is not 2 inches of thread hanging in the wind like most kits I have installed. The connector bellows are above OE quality in my opinion. I would highly recommend these. Thanks Kevin!

Fitment is perfect. All bolt holes lined up 100%. Clearance was on the mark as well. I honestly can't find a flaw, except the price lol. I had them ceramic coated before install as they are so gorgeous I wanted to keep them that way. I am running a tune so I did not want any issues at track. The lower charge pipe is less common to fail although if the upper pipes are done and boost is lifted the lower pipe will quickly become the weak link. Worth noting that the experience with EAS was flawless also.
