Brushed ER chargepipe photo's?
Hey what's up guys, I was going to order the Evolution Racewerks charge pipe and boost pipe combo today and noticed the brushed ones were like 60 bucks cheaper than the polished and like 80 cheaper than the black, anyone out there running these brushed ones and have photos? photos of others welcome too, I like to save cheddar as much as the next guy. I'd like to see them installed.

Where did you find one that was cheaper for brushed. Were I was looking had brushed and polished same price and anodized was about $40 more. I'd go with cheapest regardless of looks.

You could always get brushed and if you don't like the look paint it. A can of VHT high heat is less than $10. The brushed surface will take paint real well too. Then you can get any color you want. Actually I may just do that myself. I should mention, I have seen used ER for sale and the meth plugs are rusted so I don't think they are stainless. Might want to at least dab those with a clear coat.

Extreme Powerhouse, I made a mistake though. appears brushed and polished are indeed the same price. black being 50 more.

Yeah. Radiant heat is all we would need to worry about on that part, so even VHT 500°F paint should be fine. If the CP gets over 500°F we have bigger problems to worry about. I honestly think I'm going to do this now.

You got it dude! For the TIC i ended up getting polished since it's really not visible and that's a high dirt area so the brush would get dirty real fast.

FastActionJax Haha, I just started but thanks man. I already had the Injen intake installed so I can't really say if the pipe added any extra sound but it might have. Other than that I don't feel anything different but I know it will never blow up on me while driving.

Brushed looked awesome, but I went ahead and painted anyway. Even though it looks beautiful, brushed Al will oxidize over time and not look it's best. Figured I'd throw up some pics of the brushed CP painted. I masked the machined mating surfaces, hung from on a wire and sprayed with high heat paint. It took less than one can. It's not VHT 1300°F engine or header enamel, but the CP surface shouldn't get above ~200° anyway so I figured the regular high heat stuff I already had would suffice. The photos don't really show the color exactly accurate, it's only slightly more brilliant than the blue in BMW logo.
BTW this ER CP fits perfectly snug, actually a little more snug than the factory plastic CP. The only complaint is that the auto vacuum port underneath was incredibly tight and I could never get the fitting to 'snap' on. It feels and looks bottomed out on the CP nipple, but just didn't snap on. Driving two weeks now and it hasn't popped off so I'm assuming it's good. I'll know more in a couple days once I flash BM3 and increase boost.

So I guess to answer your question, no I did not do it this way for any real "necessary" reason. I'd say go with the look you want to. At least mine gives you an idea of what bare ends look like. The only thing I would advise is to make sure no overs-pray enters the CP, so mask the inside of the ends. And if you have an auto tranny make sure you mask the vacuum nipple. What CP do you have? Did it start to oxidize and is that why you want to paint? When you're done post pics.
