CAN YOU TAKE OFF THE STOCK PLENUM, AND POLISH IT?


HOW WOULD IT LOOK, IS THERE ANY REASON WHY I SHOULD NOT DO THIS?


here is a pic of ound of a stock plenum

 

Polish away, its a lot of work.

 

yeah, alot of work, I'd polish the inside of it instead

 

Im Not Going Tp Olish A Machine Shop Would ?

 

Hey....that's my ride at the Nor Cal Nissan Show-off!!!! .
Feel honored that you used my ride for an example.
Yeah....thought the same thing, except doing that when I get my MREV2.

 

That would be a mistake. Polishing the inside will cause the flow of air to be turbulent as it resonates against the polished surface. The matte finish created by the cast is perfect. In castings that produce a smooth surface, bead blasting is used to rough it a little.

 

go for it... if u have a polishing wheel and the right type of polish it shouldnt take too long... u might want to find a place that will sandblast it for u first to make the process a little easier

 

Had mine polished - - fantastic finish!!! Pics tomorrow. Not sure, though, I follow the "disruption of air flow" comment... In fact, my Performance Shop recommended I have it polished.

 

use some gravel for that "urban" look.

 

if you have the money then yes.

 

i did it.






took about 3 weeks! basically working on it a several hours a day. but a shop could do it much faster.

 

I have one for sale but Cutiewolf has first dibs. I think the guys at S&L charge about $125 or so to polish the stock upper plenum.

nicely done.

 

What would it cost to have my APS plenum polished?

How hard is it to DIY?
