Reworked STS intake piping

Hello. I have an STS kit with the T-67 in my 2000 T/A, and I noticed a little scraping from the rear intake pipe when I had a passenger (he was kind of a fat guy). I've heard of people rerouting some of this pipe and was wondering if anyone had good pictures of their alternative. Or I could just not let fat people in the car.

I have been planning on doing this with my kit to. I scrape and I only weigh 170lbs. Granted HAWAII ROADS ARE PRETTY CRAPPY.

I am trying to convince Larry into letting me have a go at his car, cut some piping, reroute it to follow the TA and then bend over to the SFC pipe. Now I just need to fire up the chopsaw, welder, bender and get more T Bolts

I was able to turn mine a little tighter where it ducks under the lca, and get it raised up that way. Added an elbow there.

Also had to trim some off the bracket in order to get the fitting on there far enough, and for clearance for the elbow.

I flipped pipe #3 around.

One more view, this is from the passenger side, near the door.
