NICE! Kept the foam, nice way to keep the air going right through the core, and have a bit more protection

Fellow 4 inch OBX owner here too,

I also had the intercooler mount and all of the charge pipes powder coated gloss black. The powder coating turned out great.

Did you use anything to support the bumper since you cut the whole mouth out?

The bolts for the bottom intercooler mount, also hold the lower bumper. Its pretty strong, I can push on the lower nose, and it dosen't have any give.

I buy it prebent and straight, then cut and weld to make the pipes I need.

Chop saw and a good welder. A bead roller is nice too, I don't have one. But Turbo Tech does!
