Another FMIC. I just finished this up tonight. I know I'm a copycat. Thanks to Forcefed98 and the others that posted pictures to help do this. T-bolt clamps are on the way (already blew a hose off). That OBX really fits in there like its made for the car. I did a few blast and noticed that it is pig rich now (pouring black smoke) and the boost seems down a little. The boost could be low because its not revving strong due to the richness. Hopefully it tunes out well.
looks good! but honestly I don't like how you have to route pipes all over the place. I think thats another reason I would go with a turbo, because all that stuff isn't exposed ontop of the engine. But atleast your piping is blingy polished!
Man Thats nice, love the polished pipes. I'm currently doing the polished pipe thing too, they are aluminum, one 90 deg 3.0 and a 90 deg 3.5 so far....struggling with a cold right now so it will be done by tomorrow evening hopefully lol.
about the boost, do you think it might be a leak somewhere?
Glad the pics helped out

If that little battery doesn't work I will go to a trunk mount. It was just easy to do at the time. I'm amazed it starts the car (it is light though). I should have been a plumber, yea the piping looks like a bit much but thats the way it is. I'll have to work on the tune some now, initially the boost was around 9lbs. (down from 12). I only did a couple blast so I'm not really sure. I do like how it works. I haven't done any logging but you can hardly touch the pipe before the cooler and the other pipe is about ambient. I talked to Mike at RMCR and he said they have designed the bracket to accept the YSi trim blower in the original location. He said I just have to send my bracket back for some modification. They also are going to be making a cast 4" intake tube. So if I have lost some boost there is one way to get it back.
