No problem on the pics and help, looks awesome so far So how'd you rate the fabbing and install?? I know I didn't really have any formal training to do welding or FMIC installs But it was pretty simple to do for me.
How hard/easy was it for you.....I ask this because a lot of people are worried about doing something like this themselves.
Glad you went with the HTS stuff, good quality right there.
As for the elbow, you can find nice aluminum ones on ebay(3 or 4in) but I haven't seen a combo of both sizes yet.

Sweet! Please keep posting on your progress I plan on going with a FMIC for my 'bird when I step up to doing a power adder (still saving).

it was very easy to do, the only welding i have to get done is the flange for the bov. the intercooler i bolted it to the top bumper support and then made brackets for the bottom part and bolted it to the back side of the bumper support, intercooler pipes i just used couplers so no welding there, tools i used chop saw, grinder, hacksaw and 3/8 pipe tap for the iat sensor.
here are some more pics
