Looks good. It feels good to make something yourself instead of buying it.

The hose on the blow down tube looks shitty. I think under a lot of psi, it could whip around in the car if it burst.

Looks good! and props for the DIY. Are you using a purpose built sheet metal break to form the bends? Or, do you have "shadetree" method?
