Opinions on intercooler pipe route

What do you think of my intercooler pipe layout I was hoping it would look better more professional maybe. Any opinions or critiques welcome. No clamps yet there in the mail so I know there missing but if I change it it's easier without clamp to undo

Looks decent in my opinion. Did you consider a center outlet tank on top and going up and over? Probably not enough hood and radiator clearance I am guessing?

I would shorten the plumbing on drivers side feed, and lengthen equal amount of the other 2...this would center the intercooler core at least and probably look better.

It looks good. Just make sure there is plenty of opening in front of cooler for airflow.

If it works for you, it works for you. Simple as.

Keep coupler connections to a minimum though if you can, just from a practical point of view. Less failure points.
