Default declutterized my engine bay

Way to much unwanted crap under the hood, computer wiring, egr crap, air system crap, covered valve covers etc so about a month or so ago i rerouted the computer harness and this weekend i relocated my coil packs, deleted egr and air system etc. Its way to hot to be outside right now detailing the engine so its not the cleanest but you get the idea

before


after



next goal is to buy some kooks or american racing long tubes cause now i can see the headers when i pop the hood and they just look nasty (current are coated tpis lt's)

Getting rid of the A/C helps the engine bay look cleaner and leaves room for an oil catch can

You must mean the new TSP 1 7/8 coated mild steel headers? They looked like stainless in the pics that I saw, but they are not.

Looks great! Looks like the only thing left to do is the hood latch wire and some of the grounds.

they call it the "wire mod"

basically, you just cut out a big hole in your fender and run the wires behind the plastic fender well... if that makes any sense lol


there's many pics of how to do it...
