After a long weekend finally finished mounting the IC and Hardpipes...What do you guys think, let me know I tried to eliminate as many hard bends in the piping as much as possible. All in all, I thought it turned out pretty clean. Intercooler is an CX racing 31x24x3 with 2.5" piping.

In trying to eliminate all the hard bends why did you end up going with that style intercooler vs the spearco style? Does that style flow that much better than the spearco style that even the edition of the tight 180 will still leave you better off? Just curious.

Woot! Someone else went the same style as me!!

Canukrz- Myself, I went with this style because I knew I was going FFIM soon, but I also figured the IC had longer cooling tracks (read, flows L to R, not Top to bottom) so when I pushed the stock turbo it could keep up with the heat. It should also deal well with the larger turbo I was aiming to go with too.

^^I pretty much had the same idea...future FFIM, and bigger turbo. Plus I just dont like the look of the spearco styling IC. Even with this IC here no cutting, or modifying other than the oil cooler. Stock bumper and support go right back on and fits like a glove!

Awesomesauce x2 dude! Your first (stock intake) try looks so much cleaner than mine did, though- great work!
