Thanks.

My goal is to keep with the sleeper look, and it is getting tight.

The hood latch support needed to be heavily modified, but it is in there (safety). You can see part of it along with the rubber upper mount I made for the i/c. The stone deflector needed very little work.

Half of the i/c is above the bumper but I need to put a spoiler or air duct to it to get more air on the lower part. Because of the bumper I get the most power from it at highway speeds.

I wanted to see how the lag would be with the pipes, and it is not bad at all. Barely any, like it was before, just now it has more power. I will get a bigger one at some point. I used this one because I had it, and I did not have to weld any alum. to do it. It just needed some of the flange hacked off.

Update:

I removed the T/C I/C and installed an ebay generic FMIC. It is more than twice the size of the T/C one, but fits very nice.

The old one was doing fine, but I wanted to tweek on the car, so......

Thanks.

I can't wait till I have the time to tear it all down to paint the car, and detail the engine bay.
