Looking good. In your experience, how much more heat does a fully smooth/polished piece of metal hold when compared to something with a rough surface?

The SRT-6 boxes are always hot as hell on my car. Granted, it has the stock heat exchanger, and no additional reservoir or pump...so the additional heat the polished surfaces hold may be irrelevant on your car.

Either way, it will look slick.

Which pieces are magnesium?
