    Ok I have asked a few of you guys why my S/C is white, and no one has been able to give me a good answer. So I will make a thread about it. For some reason the Snout and the blower case are an off white color. Now before someone says "IT WAS PAINTED" I highly doubt it. It just doesn't look like it was modified. Also the people I got it from would not have painted it. If you guys need to see pics I will show you.

    Pics or it didn't happen.

    Case comes as cast.

    Snout comes in a satin grey.

    Painted or Powdercoated

    I say this with the proof that you said "It just doesn't look like it was modified. Also the people I got it from would not have painted it", but the Dogbones are factory black... not red like they are painted

    And a good paint or powdercoat job will look like it was meant to be that way.

    Dude, I gave you a straight answer the last time you asked about it...I'm telling ya...it's a Magnuson Snout.

    They are white-ish. Kinda like a dirty white.

    Also, Airplane Paint stripper will take everything off, including the factory gray coating...so that would kinda ruin that.

    Yea i checked into the magnuson snout and then i remembered that the whole blower is that color. Not just the snout... Sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like you didn't try to help.

    That doesn't explain the S/C case being white...

    See notice the BLACK dogbones... If the previous owner painted them red... they could have painted the SC white
