That' funny, I thought the crash bar looked a little funny besides the holes in teh front, but then I noticed the bottom corners cut out on each side. I like that! I need to reroute mine like that! 
We actually drilled holes down through the top of the bar:

No just use some Header paint it disperses heat just as well. I had the air so cold coming in to the moter it would have some condinsation on the out side of the pipe.So the paint wont effect it.

Ok I got the crash bar cut and intercooler is installed. It took a while with the air saw and another jig saw. Now Im stuck on the ic piping. It looks like im going to need more pieces so im bout to buy my second universal kit. but I needed to know what size couplers to buy for the throttle body and the stock airbox.

No its for my custom turbo setup. I have an 07 and could not find a maf mount so for now im using the stock air box. Then when I get a lot of logged runs on the ultimate im taking the stock airbox and maf out.
I hope it is 2.5 bc my intercooler piping kit is 2.5. thanks!

I wouldn't use the stock air box .when I did mine I had the air filter on to tight and it was not getting as much air as it should . I think that the stock air box wont flow enough air. Lack of air caused my car to miss out on 100whp and I have the dyno to prove it but good luck with that.

can't take out your MAF sensor... even if you were running a standalone ems.... get an intake pipe.... ATP turbo has one.... www.atpturbo.com

Its my under standing that even with the AEM EMS the MAF sensor still has to be in place....yes your now tuning using Manifold absolute pressure, but I thought for getting around the Drive-by-wire the MAF is needed...

) that you stil have to use the MAF sensor with the AEM EMS...Hydra may do it differently...I think I'm going with Hydra myself soon( was gonna go AEM)
