Ran out of time at the craft center so i didnt have enough time to be taking all kinds of pics today unfortunately...i was by myself all day so it was pretty difficult, especially with lining up the downpipe, etc.

hah has nothing to do with the bumper man its the bar behind it for when you ram s***.
ohhh, didn't even notice that, i could not get rid of that, it'd be better to replace my bumper than to replace my radiator / fmic
 
Matthew what are you doing with your header?

Umm is that oil return line laying up against the downpipe in the last picture? If it is I hope it's just temporary
 
Looks sweet! I can't wait to do my stage 2 install :D
How long were those intercooler brackets, or whatever. I didn't get them in my packup, so i am going to have to fab them up myself, so any info about them will help a lot.
 
how long will it take for the whole process to be done im curious :D
 
that steel braided return is ******* PIMPPP...I want...Where did you get one with that big of an ID?

Mathew.....its hard to see from this angle....but the only thing I would Strongly recommend is that the oil return line be "less kinked"... the oil should have the shortest route into the oil pan.

Maybe shorten the line up a bit...and get an "angle" fitting out of the oil pan. (also the position on the oil pan itself could be a "bit" higher)

You have done some great work...and it looks great.. this would be my only advice.

i did a custom job and kept my bumper support for everyone wondering...the top of the FMIC sits flush with the bottom of the support!(butt)

sold to senor corwin, will be shipping today or tommorrow...the header is definately going to need some TLC corwin, and youll need some new gaskets, so ill give you free shipping (pm me your addy) and ill include some copper gasket spray.

measure to the bottom of your bumper support thats what i did...i think its like 12 inches or close to it...you could always make them 18 to be safe and not run into any problems.
