a little update here. got my intake setup done and im going up for my final tune tomorrow. i still need to make a new cover/something to hold the radiator up but this works for now. excuse the filthy engine bay, its been raining here for 2 weeks straight so i havnt been able to clean it up.

That rear end and brakes look great, and once the radiator/coresupport is covered up the intake will look great.

Have you driven the car with the intake set-up yet? I'm curious as to the gains you'll get with it like that. Been pondering doing something just like that myself but haven't got the ***** to cut up my upper core support like that with out "knowing" there will be an improvment.

no, i probably wont have a good comparison because right now im on my base tune w/ my old intake setup and the final tune will be with this setup so my gains probably wont be accurate. my tuner said the 100mm mass air + the intake should give me close to 20whp
