Looks nice. I see you wrapped the STS pipe going by the headers. I had to do the same.
Definetly get the car tuned before getting crazy on it. Sure you already know that one.
If you cut the mounting tab for the filter off your K&N FIPK II radiator shroud, it makes a nice STS radiator cover. Here's a pic of mine.
Shortening the upper radiator hose by approx 1" right as it enters the radiator will keep it from hitting the STS intake pipe. This prevents you from having to use zip ties or similar to keep the pipe away from the power steering pully.
Overall......looks nice.

wrong.. it does NOT pass ALL smog laws in CA, which is where the poster is from.. OC CA... it does not have an EO# (executive order # from C.A.R.B.)

correct.
but if you pull the pipe that connects to the tb and put your stock airbox back on, as long as your tune is good you will pass no problem.
I just did this 3 weeks ago at a test only station. It's all post cat at that point so there is nothing they can say.
