Intercooler Pipe- Left Side (aluminum)
Created on 2008-10-18 20:35:38
The left side is more congested than the right side, so the inner fender needs a bit moremodification. I have the pipes fit and the fender cut, but still need to weld in most of the patch. The pipe does fit with the intake and MAF, so the rest is just cosmetic at this point. The stock radiator fits in between everything, but I need something larger- but that is another project.
