so getting some stuff together for some big projects with a friend of mine that has a tube bender, pipe bender, all kinds of welders, that kind of stuff...
gonna put a half cage, one piece hotside intercoolerpiping and 2 piece cold side (DAM YOU MAF!!!), 60mm downpipe, and custom cold air intake... this should be good. once the intercooler piping is done, everything will get ceramic coated black with black couplers and new t-bolt clamps. also in the near future, battery will go in the trunk.
