The thing is, I don't think the CAC pipes are raw. I believe them to be aluminized, like an exhaust pipe.

I believe Sous likes things a bit shinier though so the paint probably looks better. I figured on my truck it would only look better briefly so skipped it.

I don't know what the pipes are made of, I don't act like I know. I did NOT like the silver, dark silver or whatever you call it look and since I had already painted the passenger side CAC tube satin black, I thought why not paint the CSD driver side CAC pipe. I also painted the intake pipe, up-pipes and down pipe and don't know what they are made of either. I just know that they didn't look the way I wanted them to and since I paid for the kit, I thought I would do what I wanted to it.
I think it turned out pretty good...

So Parking lots on the East side, and drivers on the West side on i10?
I swear I could turn on my wipers and the overspray of washer fluid would cause the entire Westbound lanes to lock em up thinking it was a raindrop. Oh look, someone changing a flat, let's come to a stop and watch the entire process.

so true, desert people panic when there's a 10% chance or rain.

I wanna say it was 02 when it snowed about 1" in EP/CJ? I've never seen such a shipstorm from drivers. Looked like demolition derby on i10, the right shoulder was lined with banged up cars from down town to NM state line. So glad to be out of that daily drive

In 08 or 09 it froze so bad, all of the stores ran out of plumbing, cars were left in the middle of I-10 and temps went down to IIRC -10. We are not equiped for this kind of weather. To top it off dumb drivers going 65+ miles on black ice
