Yea im doing 3" turbo back. I have it all. prebent pipes, vband flanges, bungs, flex pipe, muffler, and hangers. like i said all that is need is some trimming and welding.

As for going to houston, I would love to visit but the 10hr drive to get there would cost me more than just getting a local shop to do it. Im just gonna get it done local. Ill hit up houston in the future sometime for a show event or something.

Where is your MAF located? Couldn't see it via the pics. Nice hood (might look good on my tC).

You should have the exhaust shop make you a intake tube. Rather then just a filter on the reno and sucking that hot air from the radiator. I have mines pointing down.

Actually i have a 4" intake but it wont fit because of the battery. I need to relocate it or something before i can throw the intake on so thats why im just running a filter for now.

Well for now im just gonna have the gate shooting out of the vent from my hood to lower costs of the build from making a dump tube. That is why the vent is missing from the hood in the last few pics. Later ill be recirculating it to the exhaust. Dont really like how it sounds with open dump.

I agree but ill worry about that later once i have the car running. Not to worried about its apperience just yet although it does need to be cleaned up.

Its just not for me. I prefer listening to the sweet sound of that turbo spooling while in boost.
