The cold pipe will be ditched next sping and lots of other work aswell. This was the "just get it running good to get to storage" setup....

looks like 3/16x1/2 FB cut to length of the coil cover drilled for bolt holes and expanding metal used to mate(the wire mesh).

I forget what grade that is....

IC piping interesting to say the least.....A complete frankenstein on the hotside...It will be gone next year.

As for the strut bar, I have to make a new one to clear everything. It used to be a Greddy one, but alas it doesn't work.

if you run a decent spacer on each strut bolt...... a KA/SR strut bar will fit.
