Default Cold side up grade

So last winter I upgraded my cold side set up, all I can say is why did I wait so long to do it. The piping I got as the generic kits off Ebay which included the pipe, silicon and clamps , I also picked up a air to water set up from frozenboost.com.

I took the piping and cut and fit them to design I wanted and then welded them together so that all the under hood pipes came of in only 2 pieces. I then made a fire wall flange out of pipe and an old aluminum street sign, and mounted the cooler and water tank on the passenger side front floor and under dash. The first pic is the before the rest of them is the build and finished set up.

Weld some beads onto those pipes to prevent the couplers blowing off.
