custom IC piping at its best!!!!

[mk3tattoos]

my good freind is working on my car this weekend, he is a master at welding and building nasty cars! He is the owner of BRIGHTSIDE in L.A, if anyone is looking for someone who goes above and beyond. He is also the guy behind biulding one of the baddest Honda's out there.

he is installing a treadstone intercooler i picked up on here, and custom making and welding the piping out of realy good aluminum. I am using the synapse bov, and i meet the owner of group 5 motorsports and Pete the owner of synapse today, realy great guys. That is there GTR they are testing the synapse bov on. this car is freaking sick.

would not cut the IC, but you can move the oil cooler over or relocate it.

I just think you will have you IC pipes blowing off all the time if you cut them.

i have the treadstone and it fits in realy good, demension on it are 22.5 in. long and 12 in. tall with 2 in. in and out.

Yea mine looks like it might barely fit my demision are 23" long 11" tall 3" thick and inlet and outlet 2.5"
