Looks nice!!!!!!!But at or around a grand, i seriously doubt if this community would be thrilled to purchase them. They are worth it because I spent close to that for mine.

If your a DYIer then check out http://www.wasabigarage.com/ He has it listed for only $180.

I bought a RB20 one from him last weekend. I paid $460 for that one cause I gave him a core. It dosen't have the RB flange on it which is what I wanted. He was goin to mount the 90mm TB flange on it. I am goin to run the stock one till I see a need to go bigger.

You could always try to set up a bracket using the olt upper manifold support boltholes or try and mount it onto the strut tower.
