Here's a couple more pics of the piping. This was just the last test fit, now it all comes out so I can do the catch can. Also still waiting for the 4" 90 to come in so I can start on the intake pipe. Hopefully there will be room and the 4" will work.

very very nice mark, it's amazing how it seems like its an oem fit with those intercooler pipes.

do you have a pic looking straight down at where the pipe goes behind the radiator? how much clearance you have (or lackthereof)

might want to check that lower radiator clamp tho :P

It's tight to the rad, that's for sure. Yes, I know about the lower rad hose :)

I am almost positive I asked this, but is it 2.5 inch piping hot and cold?

This is around how I'm planning on doing it too, im glad you did it so I can see on the hot side I need to make the U bend larger to clear everything. Although, mine is slightly different because I'm not cutting my towhook, but I dont think i will have issues with it.

Mark those tig welds?

Yes, they're tig welds.

That's what I was figuring, considering it is AL piping (I'm going with the same kit) and I think I'm going to try and have some pieces welded and probably have a bead run along some of the ends of the pipes for better hold (unless the pipes are flared already). This means I gotta go back to the shop that gave me a nice freebie on my BOV tig welding action heh.
