They'll look like sculpted dog **** by the time we're done, Alex. lol

If the pipe looks like it is in a weird location, IT IS. Other friend of mine convinced me to run the pipe up through the bottom of the volant intake for an underhood sleeper look so I went with it. So the intake tube will come out where the stock one did. Most people don't even notice the blower there by itself..

I wouldn't even try hanging an S400 off of the exhaust...its 55 pounds of 'rip your exhaust right off'. lol
I bought a separate T6 flange that I can make a dedicated mount out of so the exhaust will bear none of the load.

Little more progress tonight...




Still have to paint the intake black and finish welding and whatnot, but looks pretty damn stock to the untrained eye

I got my intercooler piping running up through the fender well like yours. Being as close to the manifold as it is I just bought a roll of this and put it on the ic piping there. Help with IAT's and cleans up the looks some.

Right on, I might have to snag some of that.

Here's some of the progress today...



I have the intake pipe painted up now, but it was still wet when I started to wrap things up for the day so I couldn't get a pic of the whole thing. Will probably get a picture tomorrow of the whole sleeper look
