reused piping that came on the car, just made shorter.






zipties have been removed was only temporary as the rebar was rubbing slightly on the couple, both sides will be ran under the headlights and the hole you see is going to be welded up, I will post more pics when cold side is done.

rest of the piping, everything runs under the headlights and makes no contact with anything any more. all thats left is to grind the welds off and check for boost leaks and finally be done.

I added an aftermarket one and got rid of the stock POS! I used this one because it was cheap, and it works just fine. http://www.jegs.com/i/Derale/259/132...ductId=1289908

I just put it where the stock one was. I zip tied it to the silver cylinder right next to it.

cannot see it well in the pic, you can see the bottom of the intercooler but thats why i have the high beems out. once the inter cooler ducting gets made the highs will go back in place.

i have a nagging suspicion that if some of you people would venture as far as to remount your battery in the trunk, you could get rid of that horrible bend on the i/c pipe infront of the tb. you'd probably gain a few extra hp's from it as well...

am i the only ninja here?
