Nice clean up. Why do you run the intake hose so close to the downpipe? It seems like there just has to be a better for it.

its the shortest route. It never gets hot with the heat shielding

My intake pipe takes a similar route. People have to remember that the air is moving EXTREMELY fast through that intercooler pipe when the car is running. Even if the pipe gets warm, its not enough to materially change the air temperature except possibly at idle...and then who cares?

Very nice transformation smile.gif
