so how do you close your hood with the air filter sitting that high?

shouldn't you cover the edges of the cut bumper beam with some rubber hose or something it seemed very close to the intercooler?

i'll think of more to ask later :-*

seriously send that to scooby mods.

best thing ever. you didn't even need to do anything. >

though i bet that took FOREVER stopping to take pictures the whole time!

it definetly hits the hood, but after i rotated the t-clamps around and pushed down the pipes as much as possible it does close. i could have cut the end of the pipe that's near the brake booster but to get it to fit better, and notched the hole in the pass. side fender that the other pipe goes through to get them both to fit better with the reversed piping, but with the new motor going in theres more than likely going to be a diff. piping setup anyways, so i didnt want to cut anything in the meantime.

the fmic is solidly mounted (as is the beam), but its still a good 1/8" away. the pipes may move that much, but the core isn't going anywhere.

thanks for the comments guys. i'm definetly going to post them on scoobymods and nasioc, but not just yet.
