[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 693899, member: 3432"] [b]Re: Random Thoughts[/b] Honestly, it has some quality parts, but the pipe routing / connection leaves ALOT to be desired if you're looking for a "factory look". There is just simply no room to run that piping from the blower to the front of the car and not look "janky". Also, the front pipes that 90 degree around to the intercooler hang lower than I thought. I'd get the kit again, but if you want a factory look, I'd go with the VMP / Whipple / Roush style. The only issue with those is the low end torque they make. If you're just going to run street tires, the low end torque is useless(to me anyways). Car drives like normal below 4krpms then freight trains from there to 7k. I commend the engineers of the kit, they did the best with the areas they had to work with. I think if they could've used like maybe some oval piping it would better. Also, you have to mount the blower to the bracket and install it ALL at one time. Pretty nerve wracking trying to start a 12mm bolt in some aluminum while suspending that 50lb chunk with one hand while trying to feel if you're cross threading that bolt or not by hand. [/QUOTE]
