Valve cover blue or black? maybe even white? Radiator hoses and vacuum hoses and couplers on intercooler pipes are gonna be blue. And headers are gonna be black.. letters on spark plug cover are blue and radiator supports are blue and bolts.

You need to powder coat the valve cover from what i've heard. And when you do that i would make dang sure they get every bit of media blasting out of there otherwise you'll be going fully built... Also why do you need a tubular manifold? especially where you're not looking for gains...why not save a bunch and get the stock ported? i'm gonna agree with FJF you should do quite a lot of research this winter

You seem to be mainly coming up with solutions and answers on your own regardless of what others say or even before someone else responds lol.
Just keep having fun, sure other thoughts and opinions can help from time to time but it's all about doing what you like best and learning on your own
I was going to say go with an STM or Toxicfab manifold, lol.

You should really spend some time researching the manifold thing.

DB has dyno'd a bunch of them, and a lot of them are worse than stock.

But don't let that slow you down

You'd be surprised in some circumstances, doesn't seem very plausible, but it can be possible.
